This assessment aims to identify traits associated with counterproductive work behavior (CWB), traits that are generally undesirable in a workplace setting. Specifically, the test focuses on detecting:

• Lack of focus or engagement
• Unclear or confusing thinking
• Tendency to easily lose interest
• Apathy or lack of enthusiasm
• Taking advantage of situations for personal gain
• Shallow or insincere approach

In the Squares test, candidates are presented with a statement and must select the option that most accurately reflects their perspective, using a given scale.

Many other global companies utilize cut-e tests, a product of Aon Assessment, as a part of their candidate evaluation process. Examples of such companies include Procter & Gamble, and Morgan Stanley.


How Are Cut-E Assessments Scored?

Cut-e assessments typically award points for correct answers and may deduct points for incorrect ones so guessing is generally not as advantageous as in other tests.

Additionally, candidates receive feedback reports to help them understand their results. However, the exact scoring methods employed by Aon Assessment Solutions are proprietary and not disclosed to the public.

Meaning in most cases companies get the test results securely, and candidates don't get to see their scores.
