What Are the Continental AG Assessment Tests?

The Continental AG assessments are a series of online tests that evaluate the skills, reasoning abilities, and behavioural tendencies required in the position you applied for and by the organisation’s culture.

Depending on the job, you will need to take two or three assessments provided by AON, each focusing on a different aspect of your competencies –

• Numerical reasoning
• Inductive-logical thinking
• Personality and behavioural assessment

Continental AG Numerical Reasoning Assessment

Numerical reasoning assessment evaluates your ability to understand, analyze, and assess numerical data from charts, diagrams, and tables. 

You will be presented with sheets containing numerical data, followed by a statement. You will need to go through the different tabs to locate the relevant sheet and evaluate the data to determine whether the statement is true, false, or cannot say.

To do so, you will need to perform mathematical calculations, such as percentages, ratios, currency conversion, fractions, and trends.

You will have 37 questions to answer in 12 minutes.

Let’s see an example question –

Use these tabs to see the different graphs and tables:

• Human Resources
• Stores
• Departments
• Sales
• Shares
• Item Sales

Human Resources

Stores

Departments

Sales

Shares

Item Sales

Overall, excluding the accessories and footwear departments, the remaining five clothing departments yield over 80% of total profit every year.

True

False

Cannot Say

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The word "departments" in the question implies that the solution is to be found under the "Departments" tab. The graph presents the varying share in profit for each of the different departments across three years.

The statement deals with something that supposedly happens "every year". Since the provided data is a 3-year summary only, we do not have enough information to deem this statement to be true. We might, however, have enough information to decide that it is false, if we find at least one occasion that contradicts it. If in one of FYs 6-8 the five clothing departments yielded less than 80% of the total profit, this would be enough to determine that they do not yield over 80% every year.

We could add up the data for all five countries to check whether the result reaches 80%. A quicker way, however, would be to add the other two countries, and see if they exceed 20%:

In FY 7, the accessories and footwear departments together were responsible for
4%+18% = 22% of total profit.
This means that the remaining five clothing departments were responsible for
100%-22% = 78% of total profit, which is less than 80%.

Thus, we can determine that the above statement is false.

Tip: In this type of question, not only do you need to make quick calculations within a strict time limit, but submitting your answer while the wrong tab is on display will reduce your score, even if the answer is correct.

Continental AG Inductive-Logical Thinking Assessment

Inductive reasoning thinking assessment evaluates your ability to discover patterns, rules, and interrelations  from complex information. 

You will be presented with six grids containing combinations of numbers and letters. Each grid has a coloured marking either above or below. All grids with the marking above belong to the same category, and all grids with a marking below belong to the other category. All grids in the same category have a common denominator regarding the combination of numbers and letters. 

You will need to discover the rule by which the grids are assigned to one of the two categories and assign the unmarked grids to the correct category.

You will have 12 questions to answer in 12 minutes.

Let's try to solve one:

The grids above are marked below or above. The classification follows a rule. Figure out the rule and use it to classify the following grids:

Show Solution

Pattern: All tables with marking above (orange) have A's in the 4 corners.

The correct classification, from left to right, is therefore:

Top, top, bottom, bottom.

Tip: The rule you are looking for can lie within every detail in the grid. Thus, you need to pay attention to every variable – the amount of each number and letter, which numbers or letters appear in the grid, their arrangement in the grid, and so on.

Continental AG Behaviour Assessment

Behavioural assessment evaluates your personality, traits, and tendencies in a workplace environment.

You will be presented with pairs of statements. For each pair, you need to choose the statement you agree with more and indicate how much you agree with it.

You will have 55 questions to answer. There is no time limit, and it usually takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Let’s view how it looks –

Where would you align yourself on this axis?

When I'm offended, I want to pardon and move on

I rarely make hasty decisions

Strongly Agree

Slightly Agree

Slightly Agree

Strongly Agree

Show Solution

When picking your answer, consider the traits and characteristics that are desirable for the position you applied for.

For example, suppose you are going to work with a team. In that case, you should consider collegiality and collaboration and choose the statement “When I'm offended, I want to pardon and move on,” indicating that you are a pleasant person to work with.

Suppose you are applying to a managerial position or a role requiring taking risks. In that case, you should refer to the statement “I rarely make hasty decisions ”, which indicates that you are a calculated person that doesn’t risk without consideration.

The answer is dependent on your personality and on the type of position you are trying to get hired for.

Tip: There will be pairs in which two of the statements are equally agreeable or disagreeable. In these cases, choose the statement that best reflects your personality and rank it accordingly.

Continental AG Assessment Centre Preparation

Executives have come to the decision that applicants’ personalities and professionalism cannot be properly assessed based on written tests alone. Events at such assessment centres are of various time frames, ranging from half a day to two days.

With many potential employees invited to pre-employment events, job candidates for a position are usually grouped with their direct competition and participate in various job simulations so that they can be evaluated against each other.

There are a few eliminations during the event – that way, not all job candidates arrive at the final stage of the assessment centre concerning an interview with a higher management of the company.

Only applicants who decisively demonstrate adaptability, analytical thinking, commercial awareness and leadership are usually pursued in the final interview, which often ends in a job offer.

Continental AG Interview

The final process of the Continental AG recruiting process is a one-on-one interview. The interview can be administration on-site or online and is often conducted jointly by your hiring manager and HR representative.

As the interview aim to verify your compatibility for the job, you will be asked about your professional history and your aspirations and goals in the position you applied for.

When preparing for the interview, make a list of important professional milestones, and emphasis those who sets you apart of the other candidates.
