HUCAMA Ability Factors
HUCAMA Ability Factors assesses how an individual processes information to predict their cognitive performance in a role.
This ability test includes the following 3 components, each lasting 8 minutes:
-
Diagrammatic Matrices: Ability to infer relationships between objects

Structuring Work
