Korn Ferry Leadership Assessments:
The Korn Ferry CRA Assessment aims to assess whether you've got the personality traits that fit leadership positions in the Canada Revenue Agency. The test, also known as KFALP, is designed to identify candidates with the highest potential for success.
This test highlights cognitive and learning agility as the most significant predictors of leadership performance. Other factors highly rated as necessary in successful leaders include personality motivators, self-awareness, leadership traits and skills, problem-solving skills, the propensity to avoid project derailment, and more.
KFALP is an unsupervised internet test you can take from any place you like. The test is not time-limited, although according to official information, it takes around 45 minutes for most of the candidates.
The test also includes a cognitive section which aims to assess your cognitive and learning skills and includes questions like Raven's Progressive Matrices, and it often contains 23 questions within a 40-minute time limit.
The trickiest part about it is that it progressively becomes more difficult - if you choose the correct answer, the next question will be more difficult; if you choose the wrong answer, the next question will remain at the same difficulty.
We at JobTestPrep know that proper practice and familiarity with the questions can significantly reduce stress and anxiety on test day and increase your chances of success. That's why we have designed a free Korn Ferry sample test specifically for you.
Please note that the sample questions below are only a small representation of all the types of questions you might encounter on the Korn Ferry Leadership Assessment. For more practice, you can explore our Korn Ferry CRA Assessment PrepPack and our Korn Ferry Free Practice Test.
Korn Ferry CRA Test uses this section to gather information about your current or most recent employment, work experience, and career path.
The Job Profile section consists of three parts: selecting, sorting, and ranking cards that display personality characteristics.
Let's take a look at a sample question (All of the sample questions here are taken directly from our PrepPack):
Step 1 - Selection: Sort the cards above into one of the 3 categories based on your experience at your current or previous job roles.
In the Job Profile section, the first section is the most difficult to navigate since it is the first time you will be exposed to the tabs that describe the features you need to sort (In the real test, and in our PrepPack, there will be 30 and not 8). As such, it is recommended that you approach this section with concentration and focus and notice the following tips:
Therefore, it is essential to note that you are sorting into all categories, not just one since you will have to balance the tabs between the categories in the next step of the test.
Step 2 - Sorting & Balancing: Balance the columns so that each has an equal amount of cards.
An organisation's management qualities depend on its context, industry, and workplace. There are, however, several qualities that are generally regarded as essential for effective management from the cards below:
Influence: Inspiring and motivating your team toward achieving a common goal is one of the most critical skills a manager can possess.
Effective communication: The ability to communicate effectively between managers and their teams is essential for effectively conveying ideas, giving feedback, and providing guidance.
Assures accountability: Managers must organise multiple tasks, deadlines, and priorities.
Step 3 - Ranking: Inside each category, reorder the cards by their rank, from the most to the least.
After you balance the tabs between the categories, you must rank them.
In this section, the ranking depends entirely on your past experiences, business experience, and who you are. Consequently, there are no unambiguous recommendations concerning the rating of character traits within a category.
A primary aim of this stage is to test your level of decisiveness, judgment, and observation of your character traits.
We recommend replacing 2-4 tabs within each category at this stage.
This section examines your work experience and the character traits, values, and behaviours you have encountered during your current and past roles. Answer each question by rating, on a scale of 1-9, how much of each characteristic applies to your current job.
Statement 1:
Answer
The correct answer is:
Each image in the first two rows is a combination of a circle, a big X, and four corner dots combined with a square, a cross made of ovals, and a cross made of triangles. Thus, the third image in the bottom row must be the combination of the shape missing from the first group and the shape missing from the second group.
In terms of content and format, the Korn Ferry CRA Leadership Assessment is unique. In contrast to most personality tests, in which the questions are asked on a classic questionnaire, KFLAP ask you to answer several questions in an interactive environment, making them much more challenging to complete. When preparing for the test, it is important to understand the test format, how the answers are reflected, and what qualities should be stressed.
Korn Ferry's Leadership CRA Prep Course starts at $59 and mimics the test conditions and platform at the highest level. Practising under similar conditions can help you improve your performance, lower test anxiety, and better showcase your true abilities. Check out our interactive course to see how it works:
Excellent direction and insight to the personality assessment. Korn Ferry assessment was as described by Job test prep and answering advice was sound. Knowing the format of the assessment and what is scored high/low and advice on giving balanced answers helped to go into the assessment without surprise. I was better prepared.
