Psychometric testing – hit or miss? It’s 2016, I’m going for my first ever 360 recruitment job. And I fail the psychometric test! OK, you cant actually “fail” a psychometric test. But the results showed that I didn’t have any of the typical traits of a Recruiter. Had I been interviewing for the same job and company in the UK, the results would have been considered more heavily, but here in Australia I got the job. Fast forward to today, I think I have done pretty well as a Recruiter despite the test results, which leads me to wonder whether psychometric tests are actually a good indicator of future success? Psychometric tests are designed to measure a variety of traits and abilities, from cognitive skills to personality characteristics. I have heard multiple arguments for and against the use of these tests in a hiring process. What do you think? #psychometrictesting #hiringprocess #recruitment
