Aptitude & Psychometric Tests For Job Applicants
Definition:- What are aptitude tests?
Aptitude tests verify candidates ability to acquire fresh knowledge and their general reasoning prowess. These tests were designed to quantify candidates mental processes like working memory, attention span, logical reasoning, and comprehension. Usually, there is no previous knowledge required for passing these tests, except while sitting numerical reasoning and mechanical reasoning where candidates are expected to demonstrate a standard understanding of mathematics and physics.
Definition:- Psychometric Test
Psychometric tests can be used as part of the recruitment and selection process by employers to assess your ability in specific skills (eg, verbal, numerical and diagrammatical reasoning) or to find out about your personal qualities by using personality questionnaires.
Generally what are the different types of aptitude tests?
There are a number of different tests out there in the job markets, but the most common ones are:
Job knowledge tests:
Job knowledge tests, sometimes referred to as achievement or mastery tests, typically consist of questions designed to assess technical or professional expertise in specific knowledge areas. Job knowledge tests evaluate what a person knows at the time of taking the test.
Numerical reasoning tests:
Numerical reasoning tests demonstrate your ability to deal with numbers quickly and accurately. These tests contain questions that assess your knowledge of ratios, percentages, number sequences, data interpretation, financial analysis and currency conversion.
Verbal reasoning tests:
Verbal reasoning is the ability to understand and logically work through concepts and problems expressed in words. … Some tests will have longer passages of text to read through and multiple questions per passage. Others may have very short passages, but only one or two questions on each.
Diagrammatic reasoning tests:
Diagrammatic Reasoning psychometric tests are commonly used to assess candidates, along with abstract reasoning tests. As the name suggests, such tests involve objects (diagrams) such as a series of pictorial questions with little or no words or numbers.
Situational judgement tests:
Situational judgement tests (SJTs) or Inventories (SJIs) are a type of psychological test which present the test-taker with realistic, hypothetical scenarios and ask the individual to identify the most appropriate response or to rank the responses in the order they feel is most effective.
E-tray exercises:
An e–tray exercise is a simulated computer based exercise used as part of an assessment centre. The exercise requires you to read and respond to a series of messages presented in an email inbox. The exercise is based around a fictional work/business scenario where you have been given a particular job role.
Personality tests:
A personality test is an assessment used by employers to help find a candidate whose character traits are best suited for a specific position. The pre-employment testing is designed to reveal particular aspects of a candidate’s personality and estimate the likelihood that he or she will excel in such a position.
Strength-based assessment:
Strength-based assessment looks at the combination of what people are good at and what they enjoy doing. It focuses on the specific areas which motivate, naturally enthuse and excite candidates.
Error Checking Tests:
Error checking tests assess a candidate’s ability to identify errors in data sets and assess the correctness of information. They are also known as Data checking tests. Candidates are required to complete error checking tests under timed test conditions.
Why do employers use aptitude tests?
Employers want to assess your cognitive and social powers which allow companies and organisations to streamline the recruitment process by finding the right candidates sooner.
Based on the answers to these tests employers can effectively build a personal profile and see if it matches with the company’s culture and the role in particular. The profiles are further used in providing an overview of how the person might perform and behave in the workplace.
How to pass psychometric tests?
Practice, practice, practice. The more you do them, the more you’ll become familiar with the different types of tests and the more you’ll refine your skills.
If you’re unsure of certain questions or feel you have consistent weaknesses, look at the explanations and see we work out the answer. Often breaking down complicated questions into little steps can make it seem so much easier.
However, ensuring that psychometric tool or other types of tests used are relevant to the job. The usage of any assessment tools should be clearly explained to the job applicants during the interview by the employers as required by the guidelines by Tripartite Alliance for Fair and Progressive Employment Practices (TAFEP).
