What is Psychometric Testing in Recruitment?
Psychometric testing can be a great way of discovering the personality traits and behavioural styles of the person you want to hire. These standardised tests are used to evaluate candidates’ skills, strengths, cognitive abilities, and personality traits, which can indicate suitability for roles and for the company culture.
Some of these tests can include:
Cognitive Tests: Numerical, Verbal, Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Tests.
Personality & Behaviour: Big 5, Motivation & Culture and Workplace Behaviour Tests.
Situational Judgement: Workplace Conflict Resolution, Leadership and Decision-Making Tests.
Types of Psychometric Tests

These assess problem-solving skills and competencies such as interpreting data, measuring logical reasoning and identifying patterns.
Personality Tests
These analyse individual traits, values and motivations to gain an understanding of personality and character.
Situational Judgement

These assessments can help determine which candidates have the skills and qualities required for the role you’re hiring for, as well as whether they align with the personality type that best fits your team.
