How to Deal with Psychometric Testing
|
|
As part of our Resourcing Programme, Pursuit NHA administers psychometric tests for its clients. In association with The Grocer magazine the following article has been reproduced from The Little Book of Job Hunting Top Tips.
Don’t worry, you’re not about to be wired up to a computer and covered in electrodes. Psychometric tests may be a little scary but they needn’t be – and if you are the right person for the job they will just reinforce that fact. Broadly speaking they fall into four categories: ability tests, aptitude tests, personality tests and motivation questionnaires. So here are some hints to keep you abreast of the tests. 1. Find out what sort of test it is? You should be told that you’ll be required to take a test, so don’t be afraid to be nosey. Does it relate to ability, aptitude or personality? Is it verbal, written or on the internet? What is the name of the test and does the producer have a guide you can look at? 2. Undertake practice tests. I’m sure you’ve got better things to do, but using the internet to find out more about the test you’ll be taking is a smart move. Go to the test producer’s website or type the name of the test into a search engine. You should find some sample tests you can practice on. 3. Use a calculator. If it’s a numeracy test, it’s perfectly acceptable to use a calculator. It’s not cheating, it’s just common sense if you have limited time – and it looks better than reciting your seven-times-table aloud. 4. Keep calm and don’t skim read. Don’t panic because you’ve just had a flashback to your school exams. Sit down, keep your cool and follow all the instructions. Read thoroughly. If you skim read, you may misunderstand the way in which the test is set and end up answering questions incorrectly. 5. Don’t spend too long on any one question. If you are unsure of a certain question, don’t get flustered. If necessary leave it and go back to it later. If you finish early, return to any unanswered questions. If you still don’t have a clue, guess. You might get lucky. First published in The Grocer 19th January 2008 issue. |
