Psychometric test - advice and information for test users and test takers
We understand that the world of psychometrics can be a confusing place, both for those looking to use them in their organisation, and those who have been asked to complete a test.
We thought it would therefore be useful to provide some general advice and information on the subject which will hopefully make things a little clearer...
If you are looking for information about psychometric ability tests such as verbal reasoning and numerical reasoning or personality tests then we hope that the following pages will be helpful to you:
- Advice for test users
- Choosing the right test
- Advice for test takers
- Example questions
- Verbal reasoning explained
- Numerical reasoning explained
- Personality tests explained (a guide to using and/or completing our CAL online personality questionnaire)
If you are interested in using psychometrics as part of a recruitment and/or development programme and would like to chat about this in more detail then please contact us and we will be happy to help. You will find more information on this site about our own range of ability tests and personality tests
