Aptitude and Personality Test

Some company require the applicant to go through personality and aptitude test.

Personality Test. For the personality test, they may require you to answer to a series of questions which at the end they will chart your profile. Your profile will be used to see if it matches that for the job. While most companies will not admit that this would be used in their selection criteria, the fact is they do to certain extent otherwise they would not waste resources and time on this. Take an example, if there is an opening for a marketing job that requires someone that is outspoken, aggressive and is a quick decision maker. If your test result shows the opposite, there is likelihood that you would not get the job unless you can convince the interviewers otherwise.

Aptitude Test. For the aptitude test, the test could be IQ or question relating to the job.

Behavioural Test. Other test include asking you to sit with the rest of applicants and you would be given a topic for discussion with the interviewer taking a back seat and observing the contributions made by each job applicant.
