Book excerpt: This is a practical guide to psychometric tests - what they measure, how they work, and how to get the best out of them - as subject or administrator. Whether you are involved in recruitment, an appraisal, a sale, a negotiation or a family situation, it is essential to have an understanding of yourself and the people with whom you will be dealing, and a plan based on a reasonable and logical format. Psychometric testing can be invaluable in helping you to achieve a Win-Win scenario. The rapid growth of psychometric testing means that every business person should be aware of the potential, the opportunities, and the limitations of the tests. From a management point of view, identifying psychometric types can be an invaluable aid to team selection, management, and above all in aligning individuals with the right responsibilities. The chances of any individual being asked to take a psychometric test at some time in their working life are extremely high. This book will help show you what psychometric testing is about, and will prepare you for those occasions when you will be required to take a psychometric test. This book will help you to understand about your personality and attitudes, and of the way you perceive and are perceived by other people. And you will have some fun too!
