CONCENTRATION TEST – CODES
The ability to concentrate describes how reliably, quickly and holistically complex stimuli can be captured and processed.

Persons who achieve a high value in this test are able to work concentrated over a longer period of time.
Instructions
The test is preceded by an instruction and practice part. After the random entry into the endless item band, the test is then completed within a defined time limit. The evaluation is carried out in the right/wrong format. One task (item) per page is specified, consisting of 2 alphanumeric codes that must be checked for consistency. Editing an item automatically leads to the next item until the processing time ends.
The language- and culture-free design makes CODES optimal for use in international processes.
Theoretical background
Intentionally focusing on a specific activity or dealing with demanding tasks of varying difficulty requires good concentration. The ability to concentrate is also an efficient estimator of long-term attention for complex and varied stimuli. It is therefore relevant for all activities that require highly concentrated work or involve a high portion of learning.
CODES combines the advantages of objective, reliable and valid intelligence tests with the advantages of requirement-based work samples. At its core, CODES is a numerical processing speed and concentration capability test. Consequently, the theoretical basis lies in a large number of established intelligence theories. Embedding in a work sample from the commercial professional context simultaneously follows a simulation approach, which leads to increased face validity and acceptance on the candidate side.
