Psychometric Tests
Psychometric Test Types
Psychometric tests are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in large organizations, where senior management may be removed from the recruitment process but seeks to ensure certain benchmarks are met when recruiting new employees.
There are two broad categories of psychometric tests: personality & career tests and aptitude & skills tests.
These will look at areas such as:
- Ways of thinking, feeling and acting in different situations;
- Interpersonal style, conflict style, leadership style;
- Patterns of coping with stress;
- Interests - how much do you like carrying out various types of activities at work;
- Motivations – the energy with which you approach your work and the different conditions which increase or decrease your motivation; and
- Work
values– what factors make work worthwhile for you.
