Psychometrics and Assessment/What is psychometric assessment?
We’ve all heard the term and maybe even undergone some form of psychometric assessment, but what exactly is psychometric assessment?
Psychometric assessment is a process which can be used to help understand people’s aptitudes, abilities and personality traits
Practically speaking, psychometric assessments can include cognitive reasoning tests and questionnaires which measure abilities such as numerical reasoning, spatial awareness and critical thinking skills. Other tools look at personal attributes such as personality, values, motivations and attitudes.
At the Neville Wharton Business Psychology Group we provide bespoke psychometric assessments which best fit a specific business and role. These assessment tools will measure how good a fit a candidate is for an organisation and a particular job. All our psychometric assessments adhere to UK and current European Equal Opportunities legislation.
Psychometric assessment is not only useful for effective recruitment, it is a great source of self-awareness learning, so important in effecting successful coaching and development programmes.
