宝洁解难能力测试 (Problem Solving Test, PST)样题
PRACTICE EXERCISES FOR PROBLEM SOLVING TEST

PURPOSE
This is provided to help you understand the rules for answering the Problem Solving Test by:
1. Telling you about important features of the test.
2. Giving you suggestions and strategies that can help when you answer it.
3. Giving you practice on questions similar to the actual test.

FEATURES OF PROBLEM SOLVING TEST
There are three types of questions which require critical thinking and analytical skills:
Number of Questions
Understanding data presented in tables or graphs 23
Understanding written paragraphs 16
Solving math problems 1150 Total
You will have 65 minutes to answer the 50 questions.  You are allowed to use a calculator, although one is not required.  You should use a pencil so you can erase to change an answer.
Every question has five possible answers from which you must choose the most correct answer.  You will not have to write any essays.  You will simply mark ONE of the five answers which will be labeled A, B, C, D, E.
During the actual test, you will mark your answers on a special answer sheet separate from the questions.
If you mark more than one answer to a question, it will NOT be counted as correct.
If you change an answer, it is important to erase your first answer so it does not appear that you have marked more than one answer.

SCORING
Each correct answer adds one point to your score.  Points are NOT taken off if you mark an incorrect answer. You should try to score as many points as you can.

SUGGESTIONS TO GET BEST RESULTS

Recent research has indicated that the following practices can lead to better scores on Problem Solving Tests,including some you should do, and some you should not do.

Things you should do to score well on a Problem Solving Test:

– Determine clearly the nature of the question before looking at the answer choices.
– Work as fast as possible with reasonable assurance of accuracy:  do not lose time on a question you do not understand.
– Eliminate answers from consideration that you know are incorrect and choose from among the remaining answers.
– Mark an answer to every question, even if you have to guess.
– Use time remaining after completion of the test to reconsider answers.


Things you should not do in answering a Problem Solving Test:

– Do not read slowly and carefully through the entire test before you start working.
– Do not spend time verifying questions you have already answered until you have answered every question.
– Do not spend time considering an answer that is not one of the five answer choices.



PRACTICE QUESTIONS

Here is an example question with the correct answer marked as it should be on the answer sheet:
EXAMPLE QUESTION ANSWER SHEET
1.               
1. A truck travels at the rate of 80 kilometers per hour.  How much distance will it travel in 30 minutes?
A. 80 kilometers
B. 240 kilometers
C. 40 kilometers
D. 30 kilometers
E. None of the above EXAMPLE EXPLANATION
30 minutes is one half of an hour, so a truck going 80 kilometers per hour will travel 40 kilometers in half an hour.
Answer C is colored in to indicate the correct answer.

You will now have 25 questions to do as practice.  Try to answer all of the questions in 30 minutes.  Try to get the best score you can by practicing the suggestions to skip a question, or to guess, to save time.
When you are ready, go to the next page and answer the practice questions as quickly as you can.
Write the time when you start below.  When you are finished, write the time below and determine the total amount of time used.  This will give you an idea of whether you are working as quickly as you will need to do on the actual test

GO ON TO THE NEXT PAGE.

Read this page and then answer the questions on the next page.  You may read any part of this again while you are answering the questions.
  1 A personnel department should
  2 first of all think of itself as a
  3 research group.  The research I am
  4 thinking of is a questioning of
  5 personnel techniques, a re-
  6 examining of accepted procedures.
  7 It is searching for facts and
  8 anticipating future developments.
  9 It is thinking about your job and
10 exploring new ways of carrying it
11 out.
12 Secondly, a personnel depart-
13 ment should equip itself with the
14 knowledge and experience which will
15 enable it to advise top management
16 on personnel policies and, when
17 appropriate, to draw management s
18 attention to the employee relations
19 implications of contemplated
20 courses of action.
21 Third, personnel people should
22 work closely with line management
23 in developing guidelines and proce-
24 dures which will help the operating
25 people carry out their responsibil-
26 ities in the employee relations
27 area.  Such guides will put the
28 specialized skills which personnel
29 people have at the disposal of the
30 line managers without removing the
31 essential day-to-day contact they
32 should have with their own people.
33 Finally, the personnel depart-
34 ment should perform a review or
35 survey function.  Are personnel
36 policies and programs being admin-
37 istered correctly?  Are there
38 particular problems which make
39 modifications necessary?  Are the
40 programs accomplishing what they
41 were intended to accomplish?
42 Should changes be made to strength-
43 en them?  These are some important

45 can help answer.
