Achieving Objectives
Assesses the ability to define, pursue and achieve professional objectives despite obstacles, staying on course and adapting actions based on results.
A results orientation test looks at how a person turns a goal into concrete achievements, from the moment the target is set to the final review. At work, this skill is not about ticking off indicators. It shows in how someone receives a target, breaks down the path to reach it, copes with limited resources and reports on what was actually delivered. The same figure on a scorecard can hide either solid work or a fragile success.
This online test confronts candidates with disputed targets, delays, priorities that shift mid-quarter and reviews to present. It sheds light on how they balance ambition, realism and long-term effects. Candidates gain a clearer view of their relationship with performance and numbers pressure. Recruiters get structured insight for roles judged on results, in sales, project management or team leadership.
What this test measures
- How one receives, questions and takes ownership of a target set by management
- Breaking work into stages and regularly tracking progress towards the target
- Response to a delay, an external blocker or a resource lost along the way
- Trade-offs between individual results, collective success and longer-term effects
- How one reports mixed results, favourable and unfavourable, to a manager
Examples of situations in the test
- 1A quarterly sales target that seems out of reach, announced by a manager who expects an answer on the spot.
- 2An engineering project slowed by a supplier who keeps pushing back delivery without ever giving a firm date.
- 3A mid-year strategic shift that makes part of the work already done by the team obsolete.
- 4An annual review to prepare in a bank branch, with results that vary widely from one objective to another.
About this test
This test uses situational judgement tests (SJT), true/false questions and prioritisation exercises to assess your real behaviours. Each answer is weighted: there is no obvious "wrong" answer.
How to read your result
High result
A high score describes someone who pursues goals consistently, stays clear-eyed about what their numbers really say and can adjust the plan without losing sight of the target.
Result to develop
A score to develop points to a relationship with goals that is still fragile when facing the unexpected or short-term pressure. The report highlights the situations to work on and suggests ways to structure tracking and trade-offs.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does a results orientation test measure?
It looks at how you take ownership of a target, plan, track progress and react when an obstacle appears. The test also covers how you report on your results and how you reconcile individual performance with team goals. It does not measure your past results, but your decision-making reflexes.
How can I prepare for this test?
There is no list of answers to memorise: the 20 questions are drawn at random from a larger bank and every option is weighted. The best preparation is to think back to goals you have owned, the obstacles you met and how you handled them, then answer the way you would actually act.
How is it different from the impact measurement test?
This test is about pursuing a goal: committing to a target, moving forward despite obstacles and reviewing the outcome. The impact measurement test focuses more on choosing indicators, interpreting them and managing with data. The two complement each other for roles assessed on quantified results.
How can a recruiter use this test?
The company adds it to a recruitment campaign and invites candidates to take it online, after signing in, in French, English or Arabic. The AI-generated behavioural report summarises strengths, areas for growth and recommendations, which helps prepare interview questions about goals actually met or missed.
