1. I did one
   When I attended an assessment centre, I did a group exercise where all 5 of us were stood along one end of a plastic sheet and the object of the game was to turn the sheet over without our feet leaving it. This involved rolling the opposite end of the sheet towards the group and stepping over it somehow. We also did an exercise where you as a group, had to decide from various characters, who would go aboard a rocket leaving earth to carry on the population somewhere else. There were no right or wrong answers with this exercise, it was simply to look at your reasoning behind your thoughts and how you interacted as part of a team. We’ve also used games like ‘how to build a tower out of straws’. With most of these exercises, it’s not the actual content that is important, it’s how the individuals work together.

2. Assessment Centres

   Gower have an excellent 4 volume publication – The Gower Assessment and Development Centre. by Julie Hay, Gower, 1997 – which includes activities of all types, in-tray exercises, advice on running and so on. Well worth getting hold of if you are into ACs.
