Typically, people have to undergo psychological testing when they get a job. Of course, it happens that employers can do without it, but just in case, you need to be prepared for the fact that you will be tested. There are several main types of psychological tests that are used during an interview.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most common types of tests is personality tests. They aim to study the habits, emotions, character of a person, as well as the needs and goals that he sets for himself. Try not to think too much about the answers, it is better to write the first thing that comes to mind than to think about the answer for half an hour, as this always gives a negative impression, as if you are trying to hide something. Be confident and don't try to show that you are better than you really are
Step 2
To such questions, truthful answers to which may compromise you, for example, "Were you late for important business meetings?", "Have you ever passed on rumors or gossip?" it is better to answer that it is rare, but it has happened, than to completely deny everything, unless you are one of those who really never did this. If, according to the test results, it turns out that you have no flaws, always and do everything correctly, then the employer will suspect that you are pretending to answer the questions insincerely.
Step 3
Watch for similar questions. It happens that the same question is asked twice, but the wording changes. Answer the same. This is done to test you.
Step 4
Before heading out for an interview, consider that employment is a two-way contract. Not only are you chosen, but so are you. This should be a mutually beneficial cooperation. You are one of the parties, and both are equal. If you are nervous, you are unlikely to be able to correctly answer the questions of the psychological test. Try to realize that the interview is important for the host company too, and you don't need to be nervous.
Step 5
Gather information about the company you are going to. This will give you self-confidence and make you feel more free during the psychological test. You can probably figure out how to answer some questions correctly. Do not forget not only to familiarize yourself with the official website of the company, but also to look through the reviews of former employees, to learn about the reputation of the company.
Step 6
Be sure to search the Internet for options for psychological tests. Answer yourself to the questions they ask. All tests are slightly different, but their main points are always the same, although they are formulated differently in each version. You must have a clear position and be able to express it correctly, this is the key to success in psychological testing.
Step 7
Do not forget about such facts from your biography about which you would like to remain silent. Define them clearly for yourself, think about what you will not touch at all, so as not to "slip" on some issues.
Step 8
Do not complain about your previous job, your life and its unsettledness - this is never a plus.
