About the assessment

The Pro-Fest Ability Exercise is a text development, in-basket exercise that assesses a candidate's ability to react appropriately, in writing, to situations that may be encountered in a first-level supervisory position.

This test assesses the following Key Leadership Competencies (KLCs):

• Create vision and strategy
• Mobilize people
• Achieve results

During the exercise, you will be invited to play the role of an employee from a fictitious organization and to review some background information on the organization (for example, organizational chart, job description).

You will be presented with seven situations that may be encountered in a first-level supervisory position. These situations could include requests from an immediate supervisor, letters from external stakeholders, memoranda to read, or requests from employees.

Your decisions and answers must be based on the circumstances stated in the background information and scenarios given in the exercise. You must respond to each of the situations in writing.
