Psy-chometric testing in recruitment refers to a variety of tests and tools that measure a candidate's suitability for a role or organisation. These tests cover several different areas and subject matters. Different tests are used to determine a candidate's job suitability including verbal reasoning, logical reasoning, situational judgement and numerical reasoning.Psychometric aptitude tests measure a candidate's abilities and intelligence levels and help explore aptitude, which pertains to nu-merical, verbal and logical skills to determine problem-solving and information processing speed. Other psychometric assessments ex-plore personality, behaviour and emotional intelligence to determine how candidates communicate and their leadership potential. These tests commonly employed as aids in occupational decisions, includ-ing the selection and classification of human resources. Psychometric tests can complement other recruitment methods.
