Psychometric test is the next step towards a recruitment process. Mostly big organizations conduct psychometric test  to select right candidate for the job profile. Though it is a crucial round of an interview but prior preparation can help to get through a psychometric test successfully.

  • It can be given on pen and paper or on a computer or on both.
  • Psychometric test can be conducted in work place or potential business premises just to check your ability to adjust in their work environment.
  • Dress up properly because you will be competing with other candidates too, therefore make the first impression.
  • Bring anything and everything that you are asked to bring including gym or casual attires.

Focus on the area of your weakness; don’t spend a lot of time in which you are good at. Work on your weakness not strength. Only practice can be effective so face the challenge and force yourself to work in something that seems impossible to you.
