SoftSkills questions in WeCP help evaluate a candidate’s communication abilities, cognitive skills, behavioral tendencies, and personality traits that are relevant to real-world job performance.
This question type is designed to complement technical assessments by providing structured insights into how candidates think, communicate, and behave in professional environments.
What are SoftSkills questions?
SoftSkills questions focus on non-technical competencies that influence workplace effectiveness, including:
Communication clarity and comprehension
Cognitive and reasoning ability
Behavioral patterns and situational judgment
Personality traits relevant to role fit
These questions are structured and standardized to support consistent evaluation across candidates.
How SoftSkills questions are used in assessments
SoftSkills questions can be included alongside technical question types within a test. They are commonly used to:
Add behavioral and communication context to technical performance
Evaluate candidates for customer-facing, leadership, or collaboration-heavy roles
Support hiring decisions with data-driven soft skill insights
Candidate response formats
Depending on how the question is configured, candidates may be asked to:
Select responses based on statements or scenarios
Provide short written inputs
Respond to structured behavioral prompts
The response format is defined by the test creator during test setup.
Evaluation and scoring
SoftSkills questions are evaluated using a combination of:
Automated scoring models
Predefined scoring frameworks
Manual review where applicable
Scoring methods depend on the assessment configuration and the type of soft skill being measured.
SoftSkills reports
When a test includes SoftSkills questions, WeCP generates a Soft Skills Report as part of the candidate evaluation.
The report may include the following sections:
Communication Report
Provides insights into communication-related skills such as listening and writing. Results may include proficiency indicators and standardized equivalents (for example, CEFR levels).
Cognitive Ability Report
Highlights reasoning, comprehension, and problem-solving tendencies observed during the assessment.
Behavioral Report
Reflects behavioral patterns and situational responses relevant to workplace scenarios.
Personality Report
Offers insights into personality traits that may influence team fit, work style, and role alignment.
Each section presents:
A summarized score or level

Expandable details for deeper review
These reports allow hiring teams to interpret SoftSkills performance alongside technical results.
