Psychometric Tests Psychometric tests are used by many employers as part of their recruitment process. They tend to be online and will typically test your aptitudes such as numerical skills, verbal reasoning, diagrammatic reasoning and data interpretation skills. They are also used to assess your personality, strengths, behaviours and motivation. Psychometric tests are a way for employers to measure whether you are a 'fit' for their company and whether you can perform a variety of tasks. You can dramatically improve your chances of passing psychometric tests by practising them. This will help you get used to the style of questions and develop the ability to answer quickly in the time available. Numerical tests will contain maths questions, for which you may or may not be able to use a calculator. Future Learn offers a free online course to help build your mathematical confidence and prepare you for both employers' numeracy testing and using numeracy in the workplace. Verbal reasoning tests may test whether you can follow a logical argument, or whether you can extract relevant information from a passage of text. Diagrammatic reasoning tests may ask you to find the next shape in a sequence, or identify relationships between shapes.
