Psychometric assessment is used both by those seeking the right direction to take in their career, and by employers looking to ensure they recruit the right people. Psychometric assessment can include the measurement of knowledge, abilities, aptitudes and personality traits.

A psychometric profile will help an individual to discover where their strengths lie in order to make the most of them. With a personality profile there are no right or wrong answers, it is not about finding the best from the rest, but helping individuals better understand themselves to improve their decision making.  Assessments are designed to allow individuals to evaluate the relationship between their own abilities, goals, interests and personal values and potential careers.

Taking a psychometric assessment can help you identify those areas of work which will make best use of your skills, aptitudes and interests.  It will help you become aware of those things which interest you and you are good at – which even on a bad day you can do better than others.  It is better than an interview alone for determining interests and aptitudes.  Coupled with a careers interview which is informed by your results, it will enable you to take the first steps to a successful career.

Careers South West will then make contact to arrange for you to take the psychometric assessment online and arrange the feedback session at a time and place which is mutually convenient.  At the interview you will be presented with your personalised report and have the opportunity to discuss the things this report tells you and how this fits with your particular interests and plans.  The session will last for one hour, after which you will be able to take the report away with you.  After you have had time to reflect, should you require further help, we will be pleased to book further appointments for you.  Further appointments are charged at the reduced rate of £45 (incl. VAT)
