What are the different types of Recruitment Tests?
Throughout the recruitment
process there are a number of ways you can be tested by a prospective
employer. Such tests allow the employer to identify and recognise
your potential and they help you to identify and develop your specific
skills to match job requirements. Here is a quick introduction to
some of the tests you may come across in your recruitment and selection
process. |

Ability And Aptitude Tests
Ability and aptitude tests measure specific skill sets and the resultant
score gives an indication of existing ability or potential to learn
skills required for the job. They evaluate a particular ability such
as numerical, verbal, diagrammatic etc. Often the tests are multiple-choice
and administered under exam conditions. Practicing tests will help
to increase your familiarity with them and can be found on the Internet.
These tests get more difficult towards the end, so it is important
not to rush them, to think carefully and to go back to those you cannot
answer.

Psychometric And Personality Tests
Psychometric and Personality tests assess individual preferences in
behaviour, attitude and values by your responses to questions or statements.
These tests are un-timed and have multiple answers with each of the
questions relating to different aspects of your personality, such
as team-working ability, leadership preferences. The tests must be
answered honestly as they are trying to fit you into a job role and
if you try to guess what the employer wants, you may find yourself
in a job that does not suit you!

For any of these tests the key is to remain positive! Your job offering
is not solely based on these tests - they are only used as one part
of the recruitment process which is good but they should be treated
and approached like any other assessment you encounter. Prepare thoroughly,
follow the instructions carefully and read the question! Always ask
for feedback as this can give you an opportunity to develop your weak
areas for the future!
