Content: The TEEM is a group test of basic, numerical aspects of mathematical ability. The items cover basic mathematical problems of a type that might be encountered in a technical or trade training course or on the job in technical or trade positions.

The items begin with relatively easy numerical problems then progress through more difficult numerical, geometry, visual-spatial and short story problems. The items measure common mathematic skills, including division, percentages, rounding off and fractions. Understanding of mathematical terms is required to complete the test accurately.

The TEEM contains 32 items which are presented in a reusable, multiple choice test booklet with four response alternatives for each item. Reference group data are provided as percentile ranks and stanines, with associated descriptive ratings. T-scores and z-scores are also provided.

The TEEM was designed for use in the selection of personnel who need a facility with basic mathematics to perform the duties of their position. The test can also be used for counselling individuals who work within or aspire to such occupations.
