 ABSTRACT
Computers are known for their wide range of uses especially in scientific and
mathematical fields. However little or no thought has been given to designing a
complete and thorough intelligence Staff Recruitment examination on a computer
system in our immediate environment. This Staff recruitment examination system is
designed to assist university administration examination in attaining a standardized
sample, and as such the psychological implication of such a design is very important.
The design of the system is quite simple and easily understood. Its flexibility makes it
amenable for future changes and amendment to either incorporate other aspects of
intelligence or to be designed for any other school age or class. The question of the
online examination system for staff recruitment are programmed and visually displayed
on the system‘s screen in an interactive form. The staff answers the question on the
computer system, immediately the question is marked and notified. The result of the
examination is also displayed at the end of the examination which goes a long way to
lessen the fears of staff that they were marked down in the examination. Since the
entrance examination is examined by the computer, time cost of manual examination is
saved. Based on the virtues of internet amendment which have been made to the
examination system concept by constructing a website with online examination for staff
recruitment, online question setting and answer and online management by the
administrator.
