As the others have pointed out, the purpose of psychometric testing is for your prospective employers to get a feel of whether you can work well with others and fit into the company culture of doing things.Originally posted by hisoka:well, pple prepare for interviews too right? besides the purpose of the psychometric test for potential employees is to get into the interviews/job
