The Japanese Spoken Language Skills (English Administration) assessment represents a great leap forward in pre-hire testing technology. The test evaluates a person's ability to carry on a verbal conversation with a native Japanese speaker. Test takers utilize both their web browser to speak, read, and listen in Japanese.

The assessment leverages multiple modern technologies for voice recognition, speech-to-text, natural language processing, auto-translation, and machine learning-based essay scoring and presentation analysis to evaluate the ability of a person to carry on a natural conversation in a specific language.

The specific attributes and vibes measured include:

Following completion, the test produces a Test Result and Interview Guide that includes an overall score and detailed scores for each attribute. The overall score is a weighted average of each of the factors. The report also provides expert interview questions that help you probe critical or low-scoring areas, along with a guide for noting your evaluation of the test-taker's responses. Consistent use of an interview guide is an important part of gaining better candidate insights and making better staffing and selection decisions.
