Psychometric testing
The importance of psychometric testing
Over 95% of the FTSE 100 companies use psychometric testing to select their staff, as do the police, the civil service, airlines and even football clubs such as AC Milan which has used profiling to understand what motivates its players.
Why psychometric testing is important for contractors?
When you do a job that you love, it hardly feels like working. You owe it to yourself to discover your ideal job and your ideal work environment. A personality report describes your ideal work environment.
What is psychometric testing?
There are two main types of psychometric tests used by employers as part of their selection processes; aptitude tests and personality questionnaires.
Personality questionnaires are used to determine how people are likely to behave under various conditions. There are no right or wrong answers, and the questionnaires are usually completed in your own time. The best way to approach these questionnaires is to answer them as honestly and straightforwardly as you can. Personality questionnaires can also be used as self-assessment tools to help you understand your preferences and how these relate to your strengths and possible areas for development.
Aptitude tests examine abilities such as numerical, verbal or abstract reasoning; they do not test intelligence or general knowledge. Often presented in a multiple-choice format, the questions have definite right and wrong answers. They are usually strictly-timed and increasingly computerised, and to be successful you need to work through them as quickly and accurately as possible. Aptitude tests can also be used as self-assessment tools to help you understand how your abilities relate to career choices.
