The No-Bluff Sales Assessment Test

Eight questions, 100 points, a pass mark of 80. That is the whole exam, and most takers finish inside 10 to 15 minutes. The math is stricter than it sounds: every question carries 12.5 points, so anyone who misses more than one falls under the bar. Built for sales teams and hiring managers, this quiz checks whether someone genuinely understands consultative selling, objection handling, qualification, and closing, and it is free to use on Uplup.

Four finalists, one open seat, and resumes that all read the same

Picture a hiring manager choosing between candidates who each claim five years of quota-beating experience. Resumes will not settle it, and neither will a charming interview. A short knowledge screen will. Send each finalist the same eight questions before the second interview and you learn who reaches for a discount the moment price comes up, and who explores the value gap instead. The same logic works internally: run it across your current team and the agenda for your next training session writes itself.

SPIN, BANT, and a price objection you have heard a hundred times

The questions stick to frameworks working sellers use daily. One puts a familiar moment in front of the taker: "When a prospect says 'Your price is too high,' the best response is to:" followed by four plausible options, only one of which digs into what the prospect is comparing against. A true or false item checks whether they know what the four letters of SPIN stand for, another asks them to spell out BANT, and a select-all question on rapport punishes anyone who believes talking about their own achievements builds connection. The remaining items cover discovery, pipelines, the assumptive close, and the right moment to ask for a referral. Most are single choice, and takers may skip an item or step back to revise an answer before submitting.

Why 80% here really means seven out of eight

Scoring is strict pass or fail. With each question worth 12.5 points, a taker who misses two lands at 75 and fails, so the pass line effectively demands seven correct answers. There is no timer, and a progress indicator shows how far along the attempt is. Feedback stays hidden mid-quiz. After submission, every question carries a written explanation of the correct answer, which turns a failed attempt into a study guide. Retakes are switched on out of the box, which suits training use; flip them off when you are screening candidates and want one clean attempt per person. Questions, answer options, point values, and the pass mark itself are all editable, so you can raise the bar or soften it for onboarding week.

One quiz, three routes to your candidates and reps

Distribution is the easy part. Hand candidates a direct link or QR code, post the quiz to social channels, or embed it on a careers or training page with a copy-paste snippet; teams on WordPress get a shortcode through the Uplup plugin instead. A lead capture step can collect contact details before results appear, handy when the assessment doubles as a top-of-funnel asset. On the reporting side, response analytics show how each item performed, so you will notice if half the team stumbled on BANT. Export submissions to CSV or push them onward through webhooks and Zapier, and apply your own branding so the quiz reads as your company's assessment rather than a borrowed one.
