Psychometric tests are used to measure individuals behavioral and mental competencies. Competencies are identified and defined, depending on the job role, following which psychometric tests are administered to assess them. Afterward, they are matched to the role requirement.
Psychometric tests are interpreted as a percentile result, indicating that it is compared to a benchmark set for a specific role. Typically, there is no passing score in psychometric testing.
Likert and Semantic Scale are common answering scales used in psychometric testing.
The validity of psychometric tests is defined as the degree to which the test measures what it claims. Validity is determined by the various data points and insights revealed by the research to focus on the relationship between the test and the personality traits it measures.
A psychometric test can only be reliable if it produces similar results under invariable conditions. A reliable test score is precise and consistent during every test. It can also be recreated on multiple occasions.
A standardized psychometric test is implemented and scored in a standard or consistent manner. Standardization also means that the tests development, evaluation, usage, reporting, conditions of administering, scoring procedures and interpretations are consistent and in line with the set standards.

We have a long-standing relationship with Mercer | Mettl as our competency testing partner for sales, which is the most significant function in our organization. The test-takers had limited technical competency. The Mercer | Mettl team addressed all the glitches correctly and vetted them before proceeding further. We conducted the test in a week, and the team was available round-the-clock to resolve any queries or concerns. I was initially hesitant about remote proctoring, but I must admit that an individual proctor for every candidate was a comprehensive arrangement. I have seen the final reports with screenshots and video clips, and the detailed documentation. They underline the process’s efficiency. I must commend the team for providing centers, considering our last-minute arrangements, and ensuring that the process went smoothly, even for 5-6 people on any given day. I would also like to compliment countless people, behind-the-scenes, who managed the operation’s logistics.
