Screen by potential
Screen in candidates based on potential
Reduce bias
Reduce bias
Improve quality
Improve quality of hire
Reduce risk
Reduce risk of wrong hires based on performance issues
Why ACE?
ACE measures maximum cognitive potential
ACE is a cognitive ability test that measures on three cognitive domains:
- Numerics
- Spatial
- Verbal
ACE is a power test based on Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) technology. This means that ACE measures a person’s maximum cognitive potential by automatically adjusting the level of difficulty of its questions to the test takers ability level.
It offers adjustable complexity, precision level and assessment time. A confirmation test makes it possible to confirm a test result. And it is available in a nonverbal version for respondents with dyslexia.

What is the science behind ACE?
ACE is a cognitive ability test based on the theory of g-factor. ACE evaluates the competence for logical analytical reasoning – the competence to identify patterns and complex relations in information, to draw conclusions, and to drive results. Three cognitive domains are available in ACE:
- Numeric
- Spatial
- Verbal
ACE is built on Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) technology. This means that ACE measures a person’s maximum cognitive potential by automatically adjusting the level of difficulty of its questions to the test taker’s ability level.
ACE has several national as well as international norms available. The combined norm samples contain more than 32,000 responses.
ACE is available in Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.
When choosing a test tool, we recommend that you pay attention to its validity and reliability. Extensive documentation has been performed to provide evidence of reliability and validity.
Validity
- Criterion validity: ACE Criteria, has been shown to predict higher job performance in sales, at a large retail company (r = 0.42 for Spatial Ability).
- Construct validity: computer simulation studies of ACE show a correlation of r = 0.89 between true and estimated scores. ACE is based on a previous Master g-factor test with a high correlation (r = 0.7) with the well-established g-factor test Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM).
- Differential Item Functioning (DIF): DIF was rejected across gender, employment level, and education. This shows that ACE performs equally well across different groups.
Reliability
-
Reliability (1-SE2): Standard precision = 0.71 and High precision = 0.83
High standards
equales high trust
ACE is developed based on international standards and guidelines and have been reviewed by external specialist in professional psychometrical testing.

”The change to Metis (now Master People Platform) was quite easy and I was quickly up and running. Quality in procedures is a core value for Poolia and is an important part of their market approach. The ACE result (capability for logical, analytical reasoning) is very important in white collar specialist and higher level jobs. ACE and Metis (now Master People Platform) match our high quality standards of process and delivery to our customers.
