More and more employees are having to sit psychometric tests as part of the interviewing process. On paper, a person's skills and experience may perfectly fit the job description, but the employer also wants to know things about the individual's personality: for example, their weak and strong points; whether they will fit in with the department; whether they can retain information quickly; and whether they have management potential or whether they will always require supervision. This book is designed to help the individual master taking psychometric tests, and help them decide, before applying for a job, what their individual personality type is - extrovert, emotional, creative or assertive. Working through the tests will give the reader the ability to improve their skills in the key areas of lateral thinking, problem solving, and intelligence, and the book also provides a guide to assessing performance. * Familiarity with the type of questions set in psychometric tests will give readers an idea of what to expect, and will help them relax in a test situation * Authors are experts in psychometric and IQ testing and have written over 94 books on all types of tests * More and more employers are using psychometric testing at interview - including government, education, industry, armed forces and commerce.
