6. Summary from "The Guardian"

Hello my friends, in this day I will talk about a resume, a new related with my career from the web guardian.co.uk. This new is called: How to complete psychometric test.


The psychometric test are used by 70% of the largest companies in the UK. The conclusions drawns by the psychologist that mark them will determine wheter you make it past application stage.

This test try to capture the long-term personality, rather than the short-term charm that turns up at interview .

- Know yourself, be yourself: If you lie on a personality questionnaire you will only be caught out at interview. You could end up in the wrong job.

- Beware the lie scale: Scattered among personality questionnaires are trap questions suck is "If you say you'll do something do you always keep your promise"

- Don't sit on the fence: When taking a personality test don`t tick the "don`t know" option more than five times.

- Demand feedback: "Your results belong to you"

- Do your homework: The arithmetic required by numeracy tests is around GCSE level, but is probably that you've forgotten how to manipulate fractions and percentages.

Well, this news is only a part of my career, the psychometric test, but the test in the new are cognitive-behavioral. In my career, we studied other kind of tests, like Rorschach or Zulliger.

That`s all for now

See you in class
