Before We Decide, Let's Do Psychometric Assessments

‘Psychometric’ is a term coined from the Greek words for mental and measurement. And, by the way, even though there are so many different brands of assessments with wonderfully varied terminology and eye-catching reporting formats available out there, there are three main areas that tests explore: your capabilities, your aptitude for the job, and the extent of your personality match to the job and/or the team/organisation you are hoping to join.

Some tests only measure one area, some measure all areas.

In some cases tests are presented in some kind of question and answer format whether online or actual pen and paper, while some tests actually require you to physically demonstrate those abilities and personality traits. I’m trying to say all this without getting too technical and actually naming specific tests (because I don’t want to appear to be promoting one brand or developer over another) so, let’s agree that this summary gives you a basic idea or outline of psychometric tests/assessments.
