Correct Answer: Limited information about candidates
 


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Limited information about candidates

Tests, such as aptitude tests, cognitive tests, or skills tests, focus on specific aspects of candidates' abilities or knowledge. While tests can provide objective and standardized measurements of those specific skills or attributes being tested, they may not capture the full range of information required to make a comprehensive assessment of a candidate's suitability for a role.

While tests provide valuable information about specific skills or attributes being measured, they may not provide a holistic view of a candidate's qualifications, experience, personality, or other relevant factors. It is often beneficial to use tests in conjunction with other selection tools, such as interviews or assessments, to gather a more comprehensive understanding of candidates' capabilities and suitability for a role. This combination of assessment methods helps mitigate the limitations of using tests alone and provides a more well-rounded evaluation of candidates.
