Let's go over each test and see what challenges it offers:
Dish Network SHL G+ Test
For most positions dealing with engineering and coding duties, the company employs 2023 updated G+ SHL tests to measure your abilities. This test has two versions: Mobile-Enabled Interactive and Standard Multiple-Choice.
Version | Interactive | Multiple-Choice |
No. of Questions | 24 | Varies (approx. 30) |
Time Limit | 36 minutes | 36 minutes |
Interactive* | Yes | No |
Adaptive** | Yes | No |
Question Types |
Numerical - Tables and Graphs, Numerical Calculation, Number Ranges Inductive - Next in Series, Rules Combination, Alphanumeric Sequences Deductive - Scheduling (Schedule, Calendar), Ranking |
Numerical - Tables and Graphs Inductive - Next in Series Deductive - Seating Arrangements |
* Interactive – you will be able to interact with the test (drag-and-drop, connect the dots, etc.)
** Adaptive - questions become harder when you answer right and easier when you answer wrong.
Once you have been selected to take an SHL test, you will receive a test invitation (or announcement).
The announcement will show the assessment details, including the assessment name, time limit, and things you will need for the test.
Once you have written down the name of the assessment/s and their time limit, go ahead and click the link in the email to start the assessment.
Don't worry, you will NOT need to take the assessment right away.
In the intro screen of the assessment, you will be able to see the assessment's name.
If the name contains the words "activity-based test", it is interactive. Otherwise, it is non-interactive.
Just before you start the test, you will be able to take several practice questions or a short sample test.
In the non-interactive test, you will be presented with some sample questions after the initial instructions
In the interactive test, you will be able to take an online practice before the actual assessment.
Note: After this stage is the point of no return! You will be able to go back from the sample questions/practice, but if you click the "Take the Assessment" button, you will not be able to go back anymore.
The PrepPack covers both versions of the SHL G+ test, so don't worry!
Either way, the test includes three topics:
This part of the assessment focuses on your ability to extract, calculate, and come to conclusions based on numerical data.
Dish Network G+ Numerical Sample Question
What proportion of both sites' April and May traffic was for Cuisine.net?
SHL Inductive questions revolve around finding the logical rules represented in shapes’ color, position, etc.
Dish Network G+ Inductive Sample Question
Which diagram would appear next in this series?
The SHL Deductive questions examine your ability to draw logical conclusions out of given information. This will usually be measured by scheduling tasks or ranking items based on constraints.
Dish Network G+ Deductive Sample Question
In a restaurant's storage room there are seven kinds of fruits: Figs, Guavas, Honeydews, Kiwis, Mangos, Nectarines and Papayas. The restaurant's chef has to pick exactly four different kinds of fruits out of the seven to make a fruit salad. The selected fruits must meet the following conditions:
Papaya can be selected only if Kiwi is selected.
Fig can be selected only if Nectarine is selected.
Either Mango or Nectarine must be selected but not both.
Either Papaya or Honeydew must be selected but not both.
Which one of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the fruits from which the salad is made up?
Dish Network Watson Glaser Test
The Watson Glaser test is considered one of the trickiest and most challenging tests out there among psychometric testing experts. Developed by Pearson, The Watson Glaser test is divided into five sections:
You will be presented with a single statement of facts. then, you will be given an inference - a possible conclusion you might draw from the statement.
Your task is to examine the inference and decide how true or false it is on a scale of:
Note: Sometimes, in deciding whether an inference is probably true or false, you will have to use common knowledge or information.
Dish Network Watson Glaser Inference Assessment Sample Question
Statement: James is a human rights activist who was fined £60 on three different days during the past month for smoking in public at his workplace. On each of the occasions, he admitted to the act peacefully, telling policemen that he is unwilling to conform with such a breach of his freedoms. James paid the three fines shortly after receiving them.
Inference: James has spent at least several hundred pounds in his struggle to oppose the violation of civil liberties this year.
You will be presented with different statements. Then, you will be given an assumption. Your job is to decide whether the statement being made demands the assumption to be true.
Note: These assumptions do not have to concur with reality or reason – you are not judging their common sense, but plainly whether they are made or not.
Dish Network Watson Glaser Recognizing Assumptions Sample Question
Statement: Complaints were raised against the town's sole French teacher for using her monopoly to charge more than her late predecessor. However, she does not earn more money on each lesson than she would have before, because she lives out of town and her fee reflects higher transportation costs than those of her predecessor, who lived in town.
Proposed Assumption: Service providers who spend more on transportation are more expensive.
You will have to read several passages, each followed by a suggested conclusion.
Your task is to determine whether the conclusion “follows” or “does not follow” the information presented in the text.
Dish Network Watson Glaser Deduction Sample Question
Statement: Some citizens pay taxes. Many citizens receive income support.
Conclusion: More citizens receive income support than citizens who pay taxes.
The Watson Glaser Test Interpretation section is similar to the Deduction section we just talked about.
You will be presented with a short paragraph, for which you have to assume that everything stated in it is true. Then, you will have to decide if a certain conclusion is followed beyond a reasonable doubt from the text, or not.
Note: While section 3 (Deduction) instructions ask us to decide whether a proposed conclusion “necessarily follows”, section 4 (Interpretation) offers a disjunction: The proposed conclusion can necessarily follow or probably follow (beyond a reasonable doubt).
Dish Network Watson Glaser Interpretation Sample Question
Text: In the years 2011-12, 32% of pupils entitled to free school meals (an indicator of low socioeconomic status) achieved five GCSE passes at grade C or above. This is compared to 65% of pupils who were not entitled to free school meals.
Conclusion: Most of the pupils who were not entitled to a free school meal achieved five GCSE passes at grade C or above.
In this final Watson Glaser test section, you will be presented with a question or a topic, followed by several arguments you need to evaluate. For each argument, you will have to determine whether it is “strong” or “weak”.
Dish Network Watson Glaser Evaluation of Arguments Sample Question
Question: Should parents put their children in preparation courses for gifted tests, in order for them to reach their full potential?
Argument: Yes; parents are responsible for their children’s future and should do whatever they can to help them succeed in life.
Dish Network Wonderlic Test
The Wonderlic Cognitive Ability test (formerly 'Wonderlic Personnel test') can be taken from a remote online location (such as at home). Dish Network uses the full version. with 50 questions and 12 minutes to complete them. The test questions focus on the cognitive aspects of the job, including problem-solving, learning, and adaptation skills.
The Wonderlic Test consists of the following four sections:
A large section of the Dish Network Wonderlic Test deals in math. Do not be alarmed- you will not need to do advanced calculations, but being able to think mathematically is required.
Dish Network Wonderlic Math Sample Question:
Choose the correct number to continue the series:
1 | 2 | 4 | 7 | 28 | ?
This part tests your mastery of the English language and is also a major component of the test. A large vocabulary and solid grasp of grammar are necessary to pass this part with a sufficient score.
Dish Network Wonderlic Verbal Sample Question:
Which word is the antonym of IMPERIOUS?
This category has fewer questions than the previous two but is still important to score well on.
The question will present two sentences and a conclusion. You are asked to decide if the conclusion can be reached from the two statements.
Dish Network Wonderlic Logic Sample Question
1. All policemen carry firearms with their uniform
2. Roberto is not a policeman
Conclusion: Roberto does not carry a firearm with his uniform.
This type is similar in its weight to the logic section, but also must be prepared for. It includes questions regarding the calendar, common abbreviations, or (rarely) pattern recognition questions.
Dish Network Wonderlic General Knowledge Sample Question
What month comes two months prior to November?
The Combined Dish Network PrepPack has a whole section filled with all four Wonderlic question categories.
Dish Network Interview Process
Preparing for an interview can be difficult as companies devise new techniques and questions to knock you off your kilter. HR managers want to know how you are going to handle criticism in the moment by trying to use scare tactics (i.e. no smiles during the interview), using the stress interview (i.e. rapid-fire questioning) or by using the classic weakness question.
