Business

Job interviews can be intimidating affairs. The corporate world is a very competitive place and it is no longer good enough just to display expertise in a chosen field. Prospective employees must also be able to market themselves successfully and demonstrate skills in management, problem solving, creativity and intelligence. In interviews you will also often be given puzzles to solve and the answers to these are not always straightforward - indeed, sometimes there won't even be an answer! If you are not primed for psychometric analysis tests, the experience can be very daunting. This book explains the type of testing given by employers to prospective employees. Such tests measure aptitude, intelligence quotient (IQ), creativity, problem solving, perception and personality.
