PSYCHOMETRIC TEST VS APTITUDE TEST
• Ever since recruiters have started involving pre-screening tests in their hiring process, there has been a debate going on which is better – Psychometric Test or Aptitude Test? Although usage of both type of tests fits in different scenarios, but it is always discussed which one should be given preference.
• Psychometric Test: By definition, Psychometric test is used to measure the human intelligence levels and gauge the cultural fit of a candidate who has applied for a job opening in an organisation. Today, almost 70% of the companies worldwide includes psychometric test in their recruitment process.
• Aptitude Test: By definition, Aptitude Test is used to access the problem solving and reasoning ability of the candidates. This tests helps recruiters to obtain the informed decision about the candidate’s ability and skills to handle the current job at hand.
• Having said in detail about the two types of testing tools, what we recommend to the recruiters is to use these tools in order to build the positives of the candidates, rather than using it to filter out the crowd. Responses to psychometric test can be faked on the day and aptitude test can miss out the questions on understanding the exact skill of the candidate. Human interaction should be the best judge to consider a candidate as a best fit for the job.
