About the test

The Attention to Detail test assesses the ability to achieve thoroughness and accuracy in detail-oriented work through a series of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions.

The assessment includes work-sample tasks such as:

  • Examining a table of data to check for accuracies and inconsistencies.
  • Comparing two versions of a report to identify mistakes. 
  • Carefully and completely applying standards and policies to complex series of tasks.

A good candidate for detail-oriented work will be able to demonstrate their level of attention to detail in real-world scenarios required for a variety of office-based roles.

While training to be a workplace investigator, you are taught to read mirrored writing so you can read a suspect's monitor that is facing away from you when there is a window or mirror behind it. To test your skill, you are asked to compare a list of passwords to a list of mirrored images.

(Open full-size image in a new tab.)

Following Instructions

You are covering for a coworker who is out on leave. Your coworker has left you a voicemail message specifying the tasks you will need to do for them.

Hi there! Thanks so much for covering for me. So, the main thing you need to do is complete the monthly revenues spreadsheet. You can do that by looking up the latest ad revenue in the reporting from marketing. Ok, so after you do all of that, go ahead and check my email and then my voicemail to see if there are any requests from the executives. If there are any such requests, do those first unless you have an emergency request from another department. Once you’re done with fulfilling requests, please water my desk plant after you turn off the computer. Oh, wait, I should have mentioned a couple of things: you have to log in with manager access in order to see the marketing reports, and you'll need to send me an update email right after you finish handling the requests. OK, thanks again. This is a big help! I owe you lunch when I’m back.

Place the tasks in the correct order.

Decorative quote

Simple, straight-forward technical testing

TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
