Psychometric Experts...with a passion

Psychometric testing is a tool used mainly to evaluate a persons strengths , weaknesses and interests. It is recognized as an efficient way to gain insight into a person’s personality and psychological thinking. It can help develop team spirit in the workplace and assess an individual’s priorities.

This type of testing could be an office-based procedure, although the test itself can be conducted anywhere. Some are processed online using software applications. The test should only take around 15 minutes to complete, although depending on the depth of the test, it may take longer.

 The results of the testing give schools and parents an idea of how the child will perform in different areas of interest. Once the test has been completed, it takes approximately 5-10 seconds to produce the results.

The results of psychometric testing are usually issued in booklet form or sent by email and printed. This type of testing uses in-depth psychological profiles to assess personality and intellectual levels. Different test companies use different theoretical approaches to testing, such as the psychometric approach, the psychodynamic approach, the social learning approach and the humanist approach.

Psychometric testing usually falls into three specific categories. Ability testing measures a person’s potential to learn new skills . Aptitude testing is also job related, but focuses on specific job areas and how the test taker would perform in a defined role. Personality testing covers how a person acts in the workplace in relation to different personality types. It can determine how the test taker would deal with someone of the direct opposite personality type, and suggest to management how to get the best results from someone with a certain personality type.

With psychometric testing, there is no pass or fail. Different test companies have their own methods of testing. Usually, there are multiple sets of questions relating to personality type, how the test taker would handle aspects of work and home life, what his or her goals are for the future and his or her strengths and weaknesses. If the test taker is truthful, then results should be fairly accurate.
