More than just an online test

Here are some tip on what you need to look for:

1. Is the psychometric test designed to measure work suitability? 
   Searching the Internet, will bring up lots of online psychometric tests or personality tests. Before using these as practice for a psychometric test as part of the recruitment process you need to know what they are designed to measure.  Some of the tests are designed to measure your overall personality or your IQ, other are aimed at identifying personality disorders or learning difficulties and some are simply designed for ‘fun’.   Taking any of these as preparation for a psychometric test as part of the recruitment process is probably not going to be very effective.
2. Is the psychometric test suitable for my occupation and level? 
   When you are taking a practice test, it is important to ensure that the test is suitable not only for the job role you applied for but also the organisational level as well (i.e. graduate, professional, manager). The level of difficulty in the aptitude tests’ (verbal, numerical and abstract) level of difficulty varies according to the occupational and organisational levels.     For example, an HR graduate will be expected to demonstrate higher verbal reasoning skills than an IT graduate, and so the HR graduate applying for a graduate HR entry position will get a more difficult verbal reasoning test than the IT graduate. Employers look for different personality traits, or place more importance on certain traits, at different occupational and organisational levels. 
3. Do I get detailed explanations of my psychometric test results? 
   Simply getting a score does not allow you to understand how you can more effectively demonstrate your aptitude in a test. To be able to learn from your mistakes, understand how to correctly solve questions and identify areas in which you can improve you need a detailed explanation of your score and how to reach the correct answers. 
4. Who is behind this test? 
   Don't waste your time.  Make sure that the practice tests you are taking are developed by organisational psychologists with experience in recruitment and assessment.
5. Are course guides or books offered by the psychometric test provider, allowing you to learn how to improve? 
   To do well in any of the tests you have taken you will have prepared and practised. The psychometric test is no different. Components of the psychometric tests based on acquired knowledge and skills offer you an opportunity to improve your score. You can give yourself an edge by learning the mindsets behind the verbal reasoning questions, recognising the transformation patterns in abstract reasoning questions and learning and practising the different types of numerical reasoning questions.
