8. Psychometric Test in Recruitment and Selection

 Psychometric testing is a type of test used in recruitment to measure a candidate’s mental capabilities, intelligence levels, and aptitude.

 An employer can use different tests to determine a candidate’s job suitability including verbal reasoning, logical reasoning, situational judgement and numerical reasoning.

 There are essentially three categories: aptitude tests, skills tests and personality tests.

 Psychometric assessments provide employers with more insights into potential hires that may not be able to easily be captured from other methods such as through an interview or their resume. More specifically, psychometric tests are an efficient means to measure the strengths and weaknesses of a potential employee.
