by Dinesh Soni

Psychometric testing today is employed in a wide variety of setting, from educational to industrial organizations, for a diverse range of purposes. Especially from the HR point of view, its uses have increased manifold over the last few years.

The term “Psychometric Testing” evokes different reactions in different people. Some people think of it as an enigmatic thing, some other treat it as recent fade and still others tend to think of it as something fearsome. By and large, a negative perception has been woven around psychometric tests.

A psychological test in reality is essentially an objective and standardized measure of a sample of behavior. Psychological tests are like the tests in any other science, insofar as observations are made on a small but carefully chosen sample of an individual's behavior. An important point to notice here is that psychometric tests include both personality tests as well as the aptitude tests like verbal ability, numerical reasoning etc.

This book covers information about how Psychometric testing can be used as an effective toolkit for human resource management.
