**What To Know About The Casper Test**:
Casper is our online, open-response situational judgment test (SJT) that evaluates social intelligence and professionalism. It supports a holistic review process by providing academic programs with a reliable and valid measure of applicants’ soft skills. It helps predict which students will succeed in-program and in work placement.

Casper complements existing admissions tools that measure academic and technical skills while reducing bias and contributing to a more fair and equitable admissions process.
