Psychometric Testing Pocketbook

Psychometric testing helps employers to assess people, in a way which gives results that are objective, systematic, reliable and valid. The Psychometric Testing Pocketbook offers insight into how these tests can improve recruitment, selection, promotion and assist organisational development. By using examples of the various tests available and their applications, the authors give guidance on what constitutes a good test; and by exploring areas such as aptitude, attainment and personality testing, competencies are matched with those required in the job. In better understanding the unique characteristics of its individuals, organisations are equipped to undertake a range of actions, including building effective teams, implementing change and identifying future leaders. This pocketbook not only benefits employers, but also provides employees with an understanding of what is involved in completing such tests and how the results can focus career counselling and development plans.
