About the UX/UI Design test

Our aptitude test for UI/UX designers comprehensively evaluates candidates’ proficiency in creating user-centric digital experiences. It assesses how candidates apply their knowledge and creativity to solve challenges they encounter on the job. 

With the help of subject matter experts, we created this test to assess crucial UI/UX design skills, such as:

  • User understanding: identifying and addressing user needs through research, usability testing, and user feedback

  • Design principles: application of design theory, creativity, and problem-solving to create visually appealing and functional designs

  • Development collaboration: effective collaboration with stakeholders, implementing design systems, choosing appropriate development approaches, ensuring clear handoff communication, and following up on the QA process

  • Prototyping and testing: creating and iterating prototypes to test and refine design concepts

This UI/UX Design aptitude test consists of 15 scenario-based questions available in 10 different languages. Your candidates have 10 minutes to show how they respond in role-specific situations, such as:

“You are a UX designer for an e-commerce app. You need to create a user flow diagram for the checkout process to ensure it’s as intuitive and streamlined as possible.

What should you prioritize focusing on while creating this diagram?”

Review from G2
David Felipe C.

VP of engineering, mid-market (51-1000 FTE)

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.

Why are UI/UX skills important to employers?

UI/UX designer skills are important to employers because they help designers improve aesthetics and optimize the user journey. As a result, your company develops more user-friendly, engaging, and effective digital products.

Skilled UI/UX designers create digital products, such as websites, mobile apps, and software interfaces. They ensure these products meet user needs by focusing on ease of use, accessibility, and engagement. In addition, designers must align with business goals to drive conversions, enhance brand perception, and support strategic objectives.

Without these skills, poor design leads to confusing interfaces, frustrated users, and a drop in engagement. As a result, you could experience higher bounce rates and negative brand perception that hinder revenue and growth.

User interface design testing helps you find skilled candidates who:

  • Improve visual appeal to stand out from competitors

  • Boost user engagement and satisfaction

  • Increase conversion rates

  • Improve customer loyalty and retention

  • Reduce development costs

4 UI/UX competencies to look for

Combining our UI/UX design aptitude test with UX interview questions helps you objectively assess the skill level of your candidates. That way, you can easily identify the most important UI/UX skills, such as:

  • Design thinking: The UI/UX test measures the ability to approach problems creatively and ensure designs meet user needs

  • Wireframing and UI design: UI/UX Designer test evaluates the proficiency in creating clear, functional layouts that provide a solid foundation for the final digital product

  • Prototyping and testing: UI/UX testing assesses skills in developing prototypes to validate design concepts and gather user feedback to improve on designs before finalizing them

  • Developer handoff: The UI/UX test gauges the ability to collaborate with developers to ensure a smooth transition from design to development and minimize errors

Unfortunately, many companies struggle to validate skills related to UI/UX design by simply reviewing resumes or interviewing candidates. 

For example, the hiring managers at Design Pickle, a creative services platform, struggled with a difficult and lengthy hiring process for creative roles. As a result, the candidates often didn’t complete the assessments, the recruitment was taking too long, and the company couldn’t find the right talent.

After switching to TestGorilla and our expert-vetted skills tests, the organization managed to increase application completion rates by 25%. In addition, the company hired better candidates who were able to raise the quality of deliverables and improve customer feedback and retention rates.

We recommend using the UX/UI Design test for these roles:

  • UX designers perform UX research and focus on understanding design challenges and user behavior to create easy and enjoyable digital interactions

Create a multi-measure assessment: 4 tests to pair with the UX/UI Design test
