psychometric test
Mental ability measurement
A psychometric test is a standardized assessment measuring mental capabilities or behavioral traits—intelligence, aptitude, personality, or specific skills.
Employers use them to evaluate job candidates: All applicants must complete a psychometric test.
The tests aim to quantify psychological attributes that interviews alone might miss.
