Aptitude tests
Working Fast, Working Hard: Speed Tests versus Power Tests
Two common styles of ability test are regularly used-speed and power tests.
They both measure your ability, but do so in different ways. This distinction doesn't apply in personality tests.
Speed tests - smarties fast!
Speed tests are often used for lower-level jobs. Speed tests ask you to complete a large number of quite easy questions, are strictly timed, (commonly lasting around 25 minutes), and can comprise anything up to 60 or more questions.
Power tests - intellectual muscle
You're more likely to come across power tests for higher-level jobs Power tests ask you a smaller number of much harder questions, each comprising some information followed by four or five related questions. These tests are more concerned with the quality of your performance.
Power tests often have generous time limits, because you're meant to take time arriving at the correct answer. Any time limit that does apply is often quite long (maybe an hour or more), and is based on the principle that if you haven't worked out the right answers by then, you never will! The key here is to fully digest the information presented first. Don't rush in and start answering questions straight away. Power tests are about quality rather than speed.
Make sure that you understand the nature of any time limit you're given for a test, and whether that limit is fixed or just given to you as a guide.
Seeing How Tests Are Used in Practice
These days you may easily think that everyone uses metric tests! Historically, tests tended to be the sole preserve of Human Resources (HR) staff, but nowadays you're just as likely to find testing being used by a non-HR manager within a psychometric Test results are often considered by a wider range of people than just the HR department to ensure that the company recruits the right person for the job.

Let's examine some of the main advantages of psychometric testing for hiring in more detail
Objectivity
Making hiring decisions only based on interviews and reviewing resumes may result in snap judgements. Due to the fact that all applicants take the same uniform test, psychometric testing eliminates the subjective character of decision-making and provides justice that is devoid of bias and discrimination.
Accuracy
Psychometric testing enables a hiring organisation to evaluate candidates' capacities for information analysis, problem-solving, and making well-informed decisions, as well as examine their behavioral patterns. The employing organisation may quickly compare applications to identify the most qualified by having access to this data on all applicants.
Speed
Even smaller businesses receive hundreds to thousands of applications for available positions, and the time required to fairly sort through all of them is far too great. Using psychometric testing, businesses can dramatically cuts down the applicant pool to a manageable chunk.
