Problem Solving test

Problem solving is the end-to-end ability to define a problem correctly, generate viable approaches, and select and execute one — the skill most job descriptions mean when they say 'strong problem-solving ability' without defining it further. Talaskill's assessments require working through a full scenario rather than picking a single best answer from a list.
