Psychometric testing, how to pass psychometric tests, what will help

Psychometric tests – how to improve

Over the longer term, your performance may improve by doing the following:

· Reading newspapers, reports and business journals (may improve your verbal skills for verbal tests)

· Solving crosswords (may help verbal problem solving)

· Reading financial reports in newspapers, studying tables of data, doing number calculations and puzzles without a calculator (may help numerical skills)

· Checking details in the paper (could improve checking skills)

· Looking at objects in various ways and angles (could develop spatial skills)

· Looking at flow charts and diagrams (should improve diagramming skills)

· Playing chess or Tantrix (will help develop diagrammatic reasoning skills)

· If you are applying for a job that has its own technical terminology, be familiar with the different terms

For more help, read my latest book – Now you’ve been shortlisted, published by Harriman house and available from all good book shops.
