Psychometric tests
Psychometrics or occupational testing has many uses within industry, commerce, and the public and private sectors of the economy. In fact, in any situation where decisions have to be made regarding recruitment, selection, career development, or training. Whenever it is important to predict how a person might behave in given circumstances, there is an opportunity for assessment.
Most of us profess to be excellent judges of character, in the same way, as most of us believe we have an excellent sense of humour. Can we all be right? Advances in occupational psychology coupled with our greater awareness of the need to make good selection decisions, has brought occupational testing to the forefront in recent years.
Many of our assignment case studies describe the wide range of uses to which we have put occupational assessment tools.
