Psychometric Tests

Psychometric Tests (also known as Aptitude Tests) are a common part of the job interview process at many companies across the world.

They generally consist of a series of timed questions, that are most often numerical (maths questions), verbal (reading comprehension questions) or logical (diagrammatic questions).

Psychometric testing is often used in recruitment to help companies work out which applicants are most likely to be successful in a particular job.

There are many different types of psychometric tests but broadly speaking, they fall into two categories:

• tests of ability (what a person can do)
• tests of personality (what a person is like)
