--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psychometric tests attempt to objectively measure aspects of your mental ability or your personality. You are most likely to encounter psychometric testing as part of the recruitment or selection process and occupational psychometric tests are designed to provide employers with a reliable method of selecting the most suitable job applicants or candidates for promotion.
There are two main types of psychometric tests:
1. Ability Tests – Measure your ability to perform or carry out different tasks.
2. Personality Questionnaires - Measure your way of doing things, and specifically the way you interact with your environment and other people.
Aptitude Tests
Aptitude and ability tests are designed to assess your logical reasoning or thinking performance. They consist of multiple choice questions and are administered under exam conditions. They are strictly timed and a typical test might allow 30 minutes for 30 or so questions.
Verbal Ability - These include questions which test your ability to spell words correctly, use correct grammar, understand analogies and follow detailed written instructions.
Numeric Ability - These include questions on basic arithmetic, number sequences and simple mathematics. In more complex numerical critical reasoning questions, blocks of information are provided that require interpretation.
Abstract Reasoning - These tests are usually based on diagrams and measure your ability to identify the underlying logic of a pattern and then determine the solution.
Spatial Reasoning - These tests measure your ability to manipulate shapes in two dimensions or to visualize three-dimensional objects presented as two-dimensional pictures.
Mechanical Reasoning - These tests are designed to assess your knowledge of physical and mechanical principles.
