Re: EADS Progress Assessment Center
i received a rejection today as well. honestly tho, im not surprised i have. as mentioned earlier, my report was totally contradictory.
i, for one, wont apply to the program again. i dont fear competition nor the OA, but i dont see the value to these tests other than for EADS to be able to narrow down the choice. i do understand that they receive a huge amount of applications. but these standardized tests are nothing but standardized. and thats just not the way i work hehehe.
i agree with others who said this test wasnt clear at times. however, that was not so much a problem. there is always room for interpretation. to me it was more problematic that they wanted me to enter percentages to values and characteristics to determine 'my fit'. i dont think this kind of test is applicable at all. obviously, one could think in one preferable direction and answer the questions accordingly although its not true (e.g. teamwork vs. individual work).
my results in the first three categories were: 49, 14, 89
overall, my lowest result was in team orientation with 11.
my highest was in customer service mentality with 92.
i dont think i did particularly bad in the test. but obviously there were others who read the diagrams better and have a higher team & leadership aspiration ;-).
again. congrats to those who passed the OA.
hope youll make it through and get the traineeship!
