Sample VFD Aptitude Test Past Questions and answers

Verbal REASONING
Many businesses now recognize that there are wide-ranging benefits to be gained from offering their workforce flexible working arrangements. These arrangements can include being able to work from home, job sharing, part-time working and being able to choose when to complete agreed hours, for example through working fewer but longer days, or working flextime. Employees able to adopt flexible working are better able to balance work and family commitments and are therefore happier at work, experiencing greater job satisfaction. They are also more motivated and less likely to leave which is important because staff recruitment costs are not insignificant to businesses. For businesses, they reap the benefits through productivity increases, and greater cost-effectiveness. Customers can benefit too as businesses are better able to react quickly to changes in the market. All employees have a statutory right to request flexible working arrangements; the law extends no further than insisting employers consider and respond to these requests within a predefined timescale.

2.Employees are legally entitled to work flexible hours if they request to do so.
a.True
b.False
c. Cannot say

The correct answer is B

Explanation:The passage states that “All employees have a statutory right to request flexible working arrangements; the law extends no further than insisting employers consider and respond to these requests within a predefined timescale”. So the passage is telling us that the law requires the employer to consider the employee’s request but that is as far as the law goes; i.e. it does not go as far as saying they have to honor the request.

3.Employers may save on recruitment costs if they introduce flexible working hours.
a.True
b.False
c.Cannot say

The correct answer is A

Explanation:The passage tells us that by adopting flexible working hours, staff are “more motivated and less likely to leave”. We are also told that “Staff recruitment costs are not insignificant to businesses.” So the passage says that by improving staff retention, businesses are more likely to save money on recruitment costs by adopting flexible working hours.

In a new study of 3,000 employed men in the 19-70 age range over a period of 10 years, researchers found that those working for inconsiderate bosses were more likely to suffer from stress and stress-related illness than those working for more considerate and enlightened bosses. Previous research had shown that employees with inconsiderate bosses suffered from high blood pressure, which is known to increase the risk of heart disease. In this latest survey the researchers asked employees to assess the competence of their bosses as leaders. They found that those who had categorized their boss as incompetent were 25% more at risk of serious heart disease and that this level of risk increased the longer they continued to work for the same boss. The statistics took into account external factors such as social class, educational background, lifestyle and any existing illness. The researchers recommended that should their findings be confirmed, managers should be given training to help them improve their working relationships.

4.People who think their boss is incompetent are twenty five percent more likely to suffer stress.
a.True
b.False
c.Cannot say

The correct answer is C

Explanation:The passage tells us about research in which 3,000 men were studied, and these men were 25% more likely to suffer stress if they rated their boss as incompetent. However the passage tells us just about the study; it is not telling us anything about people outside the study group, so we cannot say without further information.
