The Casper test is a situational judgment test used by many Canadian universities and professional programs as part of their admissions process. It assesses non-academic competencies such as communication, ethics, empathy, and problem-solving skills through a series of hypothetical scenarios. The test is administered online and consists of a set of video or written scenarios followed by questions that require applicants to choose the most appropriate course of action. The Casper test is designed to evaluate an applicant's suitability for a program, as well as their potential to succeed in their chosen field. It is becoming an increasingly popular tool for Canadian universities and programs to evaluate applicants holistically, alongside academic achievements.
