Psychometric tests allow employers to objectively test candidates, not based on their background or prior experience, but by measuring their personality, aptitude and general intelligence. They simply require you to answer to the best of your abilities.

There is no pass or fail in these tests. The purpose of psychometric testing is to get an objective, scientific assessment of what these strengths and weaknesses are so that a company can make a decision of how best to use you or to select the best candidate for a specific job.

Really, psychometric tests are a form of IQ test. There are many different types of psychometric tests in use today, all of which attempt to assess a different type of intelligence. The most commonly used psychometric tests for recruitment purposes are verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and inductive reasoning.

• error checking.
• numerical reasoning.
• spatial reasoning.
• verbal reasoning.

While aptitude measures cognitive abilities, behaviour testing will look at how a candidate acts or communicates. Personality testing explores candidate traits and how they might fit with a particular role whereas E.I., or emotional intelligence, can be measured through its own set of tests.

Within the history of mental measurement, psychometric efforts to identify, measure, and interpret a spatial factor can be organized in terms of three phases of activity. In the first phase (1904-1938), researchers sought evidence for a spa- tial factor over and above a general factor of intelligence.
