Psychometric tests are a set of standardized questions designed to objectively and scientifically measure the certain characteristics. They are conducted under standard conditions, either online or by paper and pencil. They are scientifically standardized, objective, valid, and reliable. Psychometric assessments are also used to objectively assess a person’s personality traits, IQ, talents, behavioural style, and abilities. They are commonly used in career counselling, talent development and employment entry to match individual aptitude and personality to a suitable profession.
