Gone are the days when CSV's and interviews were the predominant methods used to ascertain a candidate's suitability for employment? Today there is a growing trend for companies to employ a wide range of alternative measures to select individuals. Psychometric testing is probably the most popular form utilised.

Psychometric tests are used to measure personality and intellectual ability. Complementary to the information provided about an applicant as documented on their C.V, they provide us with additional information which when used in conjunction, portrays a more accurate and holistic picture of the individuals skills, aptitude and personality of the applicant.
