Tableau Test

Tableau tests are designed to assess a candidate's level of proficiency using the Tableau platform to visualize and understand data.

  • What is a Tableau test?

    Tableau is a popular business intelligence and data visualization software used by organizations of all sizes and industries to analyze and visualize data. It allows users to connect, visualize and share data in a powerful and interactive way, providing insights that can inform decision-making.

    A Tableau test is a standardized assessment of a user's proficiency in using Tableau software. The test typically consists of multiple-choice questions that assess the user's knowledge of Tableau concepts, as well as their ability to create and manipulate data visualizations.

    A Tableau test might ask questions related to data cleaning and preparation, data visualization techniques, and dashboard creation. Users might also be tested on their knowledge of Tableau features such as calculations, filters, and groups.

How our test assesses Tableau skills

In Picked's Tableau test, candidates will need to answer a range of questions targeting an intermediate level of knowledge using the platform. This includes using features such as creating and designing visualizations for data, preparing data for analysis, analyzing and forecasting tools and collaborating and sharing. In addition you should be familiar with the UI, terminology and best practices related to Tableau.

The test is designed to indicate how well a candidate understands Tableau based on a final test score, which can then be compared to the scores of other applicants.

The multiple-choice questions consist of one correct answer and two to four distractors. The distractors are generic mistakes or misconceptions, which makes the test challenging and helps measure a candidate's proficiency more accurately.

During the development process, the test was rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. It was created and tested by Tableau specialists and psychometric experts, and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying Tableau experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.

Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of Tableau proficiency and feels the test is high quality.

Our software tests are monitored to ensure they are up-to-date and optimised for performance.
