Description
Dynamic Visual Search and Awareness Test for Train Drivers, Signallers and Controllers
Visual Search and comparison is one of the latest exercises for train driver applicants, signallers and controllers. You will need to pass this test in order to be accepted on the train driving course.
The dynamic visual awareness and matching exercise comes in three parts. It mainly aims to assess various cognitive functions needed for driving. In the visual search test, your error-finding, matching, attention skills and reaction times are assessed.
Train Drivers need to pay attention to what is happening on their dashboards. Signallers and Controllers need to observe their screens and make decisions. These are some of the real-world applications that the assessments seek to emulate.
Part 1 of the Visual Search Test
You are presented with a dot moving on a track. Your job is to react whenever there is a fault. So will have to utilise your observation and attention skills effectively, as well as reacting accurately and on time.
Part 2 of the Visual Search Test
You are presented with columns of matching images and non-matching images on a dashboard. Your task is to indicate if there is a fault or not on the given images.
Part 3 of the Visual Search Test
This part of the exercise combines both part 1 and 2. You will be required to perform them simultaneously.
Why Most Candidates Fail And How You Can Avoid Failing
The number of candidates failing this psychological assessment is really, really … ALARMING! I have personally observed many pass the other selection tests, only to be ELIMINATED by this test from the process. Let us look at some of the main reasons behind these failures:
- Lack of adequate practice. Many candidates spend too much of their precious time reading and researching about the test on the web. Some even dread about taking the test. This comes at the expense of the time they could have used to practice and take their skill base to the next level required to pass. Of course, you need to be well informed about your upcoming assessment but make sure you have spent ample time practising.
- Poor Attention and Visual Skills. “Research indicates that we can improve our visual orientation and observation through practice”. Olson et al 2005.
- Not following instructions. Or simply, because they don’t understand the instructions given. Every game has its rules. There are different rules for football and rules for rugby. To do well in any of these sports, you will have to acquaint yourself with the rules and any dynamic changes to the rules. Same thing – If the instructions at the assessment centre are ambiguous or are altered dynamically you will need to clarify or ask them to reiterate the rules.
- Using the wrong materials for practice. It is of great importance to practice with relevant materials. Running is a core skill needed for football and rugby. But if you got an upcoming football match; you don’t do rugby training, you do football training. In the same way, Concentration is a core element in all the selection tests, so if you have an upcoming visual search test – you will need to practice with a visual search material.
