Oxford Learning Aptitude Survey

The Oxford Learning Aptitude Survey measures an individual's propensity to learn and adapt to the demands of a new position. Managers from a wide array of industries rely on the Oxford to assess the potential of candidates and employees to proceed through the learning curve of new and changing roles in the workplace. Employers of all sizes utilize the Oxford for:

• Pre-employment selection as part of a validated program;
• Identifying the preferred learning styles of their new hires;
• Identifying potential candidates for managerial development and succession planning programs.

The Oxford is most often used in conjunction with personality and core competency assessments to identify preferred job candidates.

Research Studies Link Oxford to Performance...

One of the largest North American Financial Services companies utilized the Oxford to assess candidates for operations managers and clerical supervisor roles. The company found candidates with higher Oxford scores consistently earned higher performance appraisal ratings over time.

More recently, a large mutual fund company found that Oxford scores could be used in predicting an employee's likelihood to pass certain licensure examinations required by the financial services industry. Oxford scores were linked to employees' pass rates on the Series 6, Series 7 and Series 63 exams.
