Psychometric Testing
Psychometric tests interpret your personality, intelligence and aptitude through a series of verbal, numerical, spatial and situational assessments. An increasingly common inclusion in the hiring process, these tests delve beyond what you can do to measure the kind of employee you will be. You can’t be 100% sure what psychometric evaluation you will receive, but there are two steps you can take to get the most from this process…
Practice
Like any other test, revision will help to familiarise yourself with the kind of content you’ll see in the actual experience. There are numerous free online resources that examine your visual, verbal and numerical skills. We recommend this website, where you can complete a few of each to gain a fully rounded insight. This will ensure you are unflappable in the face of different question styles.
Ask for Feedback
Even if you don’t progress beyond testing stage, you have a right to see the information gathered on you. Contact your recruiter to gain the feedback so you know what you can improve on, or whether it was simply a difference of cultures. Any insight on your personality and working style will help you in your future career.
