It uses open response and multiple choice questions which increase in difficulty as the test progresses. The test gained notoriety through the NFL, but is broadly used by employers across many industries.

You could also try your hand at a timed test that gives you three minutes and 36 seconds to answer 15 questions, or take a 10-question sample with a 2:26 timer.
