Jobtestprep.co.uk describes Psychometric testing as:
"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."
Within the context of placement roles, the psychometric test tends to come after the submission of documents such as the CV and Cover Letter and is usually employed by larger companies with more resources for recruitment.
