Psychometric Testing :

Psychometric tests are used by employers to assess intelligence, abilities, potential and personality.

They also provide an overview of how the person might perform in the workplace. This all helps
employers streamline the hiring process by finding the right candidates more quickly.

A psychometric test is any activity or assessment that is conducted in order to evaluate a candidate
performance and includes, but is not limited to, skills, knowledge, abilities, personality traits, attitudes
and job/academic potential.

Types:

1. Emotional Quotient (EQ):

The Emotional Quotient (EQ) Test is a scientifically validated psychometric test which is designed to
measure and analyze the important aspects of personality and behavior that are instrumental in
determining the emotional quotient of an individual.

The Emotional Quotient Test is commonly used by companies and hiring managers for analyzing
important aspects of emotional behavior. The Emotional Quotient Test is widely acknowledged to be an
effective tool for building motivated and compatible teams, while helping to reduce employee attrition.

2. Intelligence Quotient (IQ):

IQ is an overall score obtained from a series of standardized measures or subtests

designed to measure individual intelligence.
IQ is short for intelligence quotient and is "a type of standard score that indicates
how far above, or how far below, his/her peer group an individual stands in mental
ability".

IQ tests can be used for a wide range of purposes, including:

 Educational assessment and placement

 Assessment and diagnosis of intellectual disability
 Cognitive research
 Job candidate evaluation
 Assessing cognitive abilities including memory, speed, and attention.

IQ tests measure your ability to solve problems, use logic, and grasp or communicate complex
ideas. EQ tests measure your ability to recognize emotion in yourself and others, and to use that
awareness to guide your decisions.
