It is also very helpful to employers in assisting in discovering and making best use of the full potential of your employees.
Using psychometric testing to find the right job
If you want to be happy in your work, you need to find a career that suits your personality, meets your needs and helps you to achieve your personal goals. Psychometric tests can be used to identify the right career path for you.
It can be very difficult to separate the careers that suit your personality and abilities from the careers that would frustrate you or make you unhappy. To be happy and successful in a job, you need to ensure that your abilities, values and personality are well aligned with those needed for your chosen career and with those of the organisation you work for.
Through psychometric testing you will explore your aptitudes, personality and interests, become more aware of what you have to offer and plan and create goals accordingly.
You will gain confidence in your capabilities, be better prepared for taking tests and receive a selection of job opportunities matched to your profile.
This service includes an interest test completed at home, a 4 hour test session including multiple choice, exercises etc, a personal report, and a 1 hour feedback consultation. Cost £145.
