Product Description
Gone are the days when an impressive CV and a sparkling performance at interview were all you needed to land a great job. Now, for the vast majority of medium-large sized organisations worldwide, rigorous assessment of candidates is an integral part of the recruitment process, especially when it comes to filling those elusive top jobs. So whether you're after a junior management, senior management or even director level position, or simply want to familiarise yourself with the very latest selection and recruitment techniques, you need this book! It includes: 37 genuine management-level practice psychometric tests from SHL Group plc, the biggest test publisher in the world including 360 questions covering verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and abstract reasoning; everything you need to know about personality questionnaires, plus loads of practice material, including the popular OPQ 32 personality questionnaire; a complete guide to what to expect, and how to survive an assessment centre visit, alongside genuine Brainstorm, Scenarios and Fastrack management tests; and detailed information about the management-level 'behavioural simulations' such as role-plays, group discussions, business analysis, in-tray exercises and presentations, commonly used to assess candidates at assessment centres.

This book is helpfully reassuring if you're a bit nervous about taking such tests.
The general comments do give answers to niggling questions about how to cope with the tests.
The example tests are useful, though they're only indicative - for a fuller practice, try the online practice tests on SHL's website. I would say that many of the example questions in the book are more straightforward than you might want to expect in the "real thing".
What really worries me, though, is that the answers given in the book are sometimes wrong. It's not clear whether this is just an editing issue or whether the database they're taken from is wrong. In either case, it should be cleared up. If the database is wrong, then that is shocking, because peoples' job applications may depend on this. The book states "psychologists are only human" by way of apologising for errors that do crop up. However, as someone who has set professional exam questions, I view this as unacceptable.

This is a good book to get an overall idea...but thats it! Most online tests are above 20 minutes and this book has like a 4 and 8 min exercises...Just not suffecient for practice. You will definitely need more material to get a good grip and do well on psycometric assessments.

I have gone through a few titles on psychometric tests. I am convinced that this is one of the best books on this subject. It is very comprehensive yet, just manageable to read through. In just one book, it includes all types of psychometric tests including numerical & verbal reasoning, critical reasoning, situational reasoning and personality questions. The book is better written with just one or two minor errors, but gives very useful tips and plenty of practice tests. One small criticism is that it covers only 4 scenario based practice tests, which I think is insufficient. I still think this is just perfect for someone who is looking for a MBA level management job.
