How Psychometric Testing Works:
When a personality test is done, candidates answer a series of questions either on paper or, more commonly, online. The answers are processed and analyzed to supply with a report describing you ideas about the candidate's decision making capacity and methods, work ethics and attitudes. They also cover communication skills and personal traits such as extroverted or introverted.
A good personality profile consists of a comprehensive report that is categorized and easy to understand. You should be able to read the report and make some very good decisions about the person you are evaluating. If you choose to give a copy to the candidate he/she will be able to figure out what his/her strengths and weaknesses are.
Psychometric testing, being self assessed, gives you insights into how candidates the see themselves. You might think that they are able fudge the testing to better suit the position they are applying for, but this is not as straightforward as it may seem. Many questions are asked repeatedly in a slightly different way and a skilled person analyzing the results will pick up when the candidate is making things up.
If you are thinking of hiring people then it makes very good sense to use psychometric testing to determine their suitability before you make your final decision.
