ABSTRACT
This document contains test items to measure the job
skills of electromechanical technicians. Questions are organized in
four sections that cover the following topics: (1) shop math; (2)
electricity and electronics; (3) mechanics and machining; and (4)
plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and welding
skills. Questions call for short answers or problem solving. For each
page of questions, respondents are requested to rate their knowledge
level, from one ("could use a refresher class") to 5 ("have mastered
this area"). The results of the skills questionnaire can be used to
determine where a company should focus future training and
development efforts. (KC)

Tabulating the Questionnaire: Page 1
There are four sections in the questionnaire:
1. Shop math
2. Electricity and electronics
3. Mechanics and machining
4. Plumbing, HVAC and welding skills
On each page, you will be asked to complete questions or to evaluate your

understanding of certain skills.
You will find boxes like the one illustrated below. It is your job to complete
each box to the best of your ability and to tabulate your scores in each
section. Your shift supervisor will lead discussions about the scores of your
questionnaires to determine where training is needed.
