Once employers have established that you have satisfied the minimum requirements for the post they then investigate your abilities in, for example, dealing with problems, working within a team, prioritizing your work, or motivating others, and they use psychometric tests to do this. You may be asked to sit online management assessments or tests of your graduate abilty or work based competencies. Many also require you to sit a series of ability tests that assess your command of key competencies, especially your numerical and verbal reasoning skills. Finally they may require you to attend an assessment centre where you are subjected to more tests.

Psychometyric tests, including the GMAT, graduate ability tests, numerical and verbal reasoning tests, the firefighter tests and civil service assessments, are not like blood tests and a matter of rolling up your sleeve. They, like graduate ability tests and online management assessments, are only indicators of potential and you (the subject) have considerable influence over the outcome. This is good news because you can learn to do really well in them and thorough preparation can mean the difference between a pass and a fail.
