What art tests do character designers get when applying for a job?

I know that often there is an art test when applying for a job. Environmental artists probably do a piece of environment, but what character designers do? Making a whole character seems like a little too much for a test.

A bust a lot of times.

With designers, you mean as in concept art?

Oh, my bad. I meant 3D character desginers.

there is a difference between 3d character artist and 3d character designer, those might blend to each other but it sorta is 2 different jobs

as a 3d character artist, much like Brian wrote, the chances are high that you will be tasked to create a bust or a part of a character that demonstrates that you can adhere to a concept and transition it to 3d, or take a sketch and turn it into the style of a project.
