When you find a good writing test make sure that you provide the applicant
with an appropriate environment for taking the test. If they will be using
Word on the job, have them take the test in Word. Whatever you do, don't
give them paper and a pen. (None of us really work that way any more do we?)
A few years ago I was horrified to get a paper-and-pen test. My penmanship
is not good (I never practice handwriting any more) and my spelling is even
worse. Without a keyboard and spell checker I truly felt handicapped. I got
the job but I don't think that the test gave the manager a good example of
my work.
