BMAR (Basic Mechanical Aptitude and Reasoning Test) Sections and Content
Here is a brief overview of the 2 BMAR test sections. Further below you will find sample questions for each section.
BMAR Test Section #1 - Mechanical Aptitude Test
The mechanical section of the BMAR test is a variation of the Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test. The Bennett test is one of the most widely used mechanical aptitude tests in the U.S. The BMAR version of the Bennett test contains around 40 basic mechanical questions.
The test covers topics such as force and torque, wheels and pulleys, velocity, gravity, gears, etc. A small portion of the test is dedicated to basic electrical concepts (series and parallel circuits, etc.)
In addition, every now and again you will be presented with a spatial reasoning question. You may also see an example of this question below.
BMAR Test Section #2 - Personality Profiling
Personality profiling tests aim to draw a candidate's personality profile on various traits the employer is interested in measuring. The test creates this personality profile by a series of self-report questions (see example below).
Since the BMAR test is used specifically for technical positions, your profile should follow that of the ideal technical worker, namely:
- High analytical skills, thoroughness, team player, perseverance
- Medium autonomy, participativeness
- Low risk-taking, need for change
Your BMAR personality profile should look something like this:
