Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse Aptitude Tests
Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse tests the candidates on its shortlist with three Pearson TalentLens assessments: DAT Next Generation aptitude tests, the Watson-Glaser III critical thinking test and a personality inventory. Here is what each one is and how to prepare

Where the tests come in
Liebherr-Aerospace Toulouse designs, builds and maintains aircraft air systems, and recruits for engineering, support and production roles at its Toulouse and Campsas sites. Its HR team told Pearson TalentLens that it tests candidates selected at the end of the recruitment process, not at the start. The results are used as decision tools: the recruitment officer presents a summary report to the selection committee, the hiring managers and the HR manager for the sector.
So if you are invited to sit these tests, you are already on the shortlist. The team also says it gives candidates detailed feedback on their results, and that the results open a conversation at interview, so expect to talk about them.
The three assessments
DAT Next Generation
Every DAT Next Generation subtest works the same way. You get 15 questions, chosen one at a time: the first is of average difficulty, a right answer brings a harder one and a wrong answer an easier one. There is no time limit, most people take 10 to 12 minutes per subtest, and you must answer all 15 to get a score. You cannot go back. Your result is a percentile against a comparison group the employer chooses.
Because Liebherr does not name its subtests, practise all five, and lean towards the ones that fit the role. Our guides cover each one: verbal analogies, numerical calculations, numerical sequences, abstract reasoning and space relations. TalentLens publishes the tests in English, French, Dutch and Spanish; ask which language you will sit them in. Our practice is in English.
Watson-Glaser III
The Watson-Glaser asks you to judge short arguments on their own terms: whether a conclusion follows, whether an assumption is made, whether an argument is strong or weak. Outside knowledge does not count, and that is what catches most people out. Our Watson-Glaser practice covers all five sections.
