Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test (BMCT)

The Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test (BMCT) is an assessment that measures an individual's aptitude to learn mechanical skills. The BMCT has 68 multiple choice items that present simple, frequently encountered mechanisms and situations. While not based on specific training, the BMCT does require a working knowledge of basic mechanical operations and the application of physical laws. It is a timed test to be completed in 30 minutes or less.

The BMCT focuses on spatial perception and tool knowledge rather than manual dexterity. It is especially well-suited for assessing job candidates for positions that require a grasp of the principles underlying the operation and repair of complex devices. Two alternate forms of the BMCT are available: Form S and Form T.
