Where can you use psychometric testing?

Recruitment

Psychometric testing is invaluable throughout the recruitment process in all businesses, both large and small. It can help reduce employee turnover by accurately identifying and selecting employees with desirable traits, who are competent and have a good cultural fit for the business. Bad hiring decisions are a costly mistake and have been reported to cost an employer up to twice an employee’s base annual salary.

Psychometric testing can be used to measure an individual’s aptitude and ability, personality and behavioural styles, talents and motivations; all which assist in predicting the way they will perform in a job. As an employer, you can gain valuable insights into how a candidate is likely to communicate with others, make decisions, solve problems, cope with challenges and deal with stress. These traits and behaviours are critical in many jobs and they cannot be accurately assessed using traditional recruitment techniques alone, such as resume screening, interviews and reference checks. Research shows that when used as part of a focused and well-structured recruitment process, psychometric testing can significantly increase the reliability and validity of hiring decisions.

Other Uses

Psychometric assessment can also be utilised outside of the recruitment process. It can provide a valuable source of information to help businesses get the most out of existing employees and assist with employees’ career and management development.

It can add value in:

  • Career development and planning: clarifying an individual’s strengths, areas for development and personal goals, highlighting employee potential, interests and career aspirations
  • Team building: making people aware of the differences among team members and enabling them to work more effectively together
  • Succession planning: identifying those with potential for progression and evaluating their fit for a particular position
  • Performance management: determining underlying causes of under-performance
