What Does Our Industrial Design Skills Assessment Test?
Our test checks many different skills that good industrial designers need:
Design Thinking and Problem-Solving
We give candidates tricky design problems to solve. This shows us how well they can use design thinking to come up with smart solutions. For example, we might ask them to design a new kind of water bottle that's easy for kids to use but doesn't spill.
Making Things for People
Good designers need to think about all kinds of people when they make things. Our test checks if candidates remember to design for people of different ages, sizes, and abilities. We might ask how they would design a kitchen tool that both young adults and older people with arthritis can use easily.
Balancing Cool Ideas with Real-World Limits
It's great to have amazing ideas, but designers also need to think about how to make things without spending too much money. We test if candidates can come up with clever designs that are also possible to make. For instance, we could ask them to redesign a chair to be more comfortable but not more expensive to produce.
Using New Technology in Design
Today's products often use cool tech like smartphone apps or internet connections. We check if designers understand how to use these new tools in smart ways. One question might ask how they would add smart features to a traditional alarm clock to make it more useful.
Creating Things That Last and Work for Everyone
It's important to make products that don't harm the earth and that everyone can use. Our test sees if designers think about using materials that are good for the environment and creating designs that work well for people with different needs. We might ask how they would redesign a common household item to be eco-friendlier and more accessible to people with limited mobility.
