The competition is stiff in the job market. Everyone wants a well-paying job, with great growth prospects, in a good company.
How does the recruiting panel cope with this surge of applicants? Don't be surprised if you find yourself taking psychological tests. It work as a filter and helps the human resources department select the most suitable candidate for their company.
What are Psychometric Test?

• Designed by psychology professionals, these are highly standardized,scientific tools that measure various aspects of human performance or behavior.
• Psychometric tests cover areas ranging from intelligence, aptitude, values, emotions, motivation, personality etc.
• They have been created for three main reasons:

1. It is easier to get information from candidate through tests rather than through interviews/counseling.
2. The information from these tests is more scientifically consistent than the information from an interview/counseling session.
3. It is harder to get away with lying in a test than in an interview/counseling session.

Tips to do well in Psychometric Tests
Many of these points may seem like common sense, but it would help if you follow them

1. Get a good night's sleep
2. If you wear glasses or a hearing aid, carry them along. If you have any disability. inform the test administrator about it beforehand.
3. Don't go for the test on an empty stomach. Research shows that skipping meals reduces intellectual performance.
4. Psychometric Tests normally need no prior preparation. If you have an idea of what type of test to expect, for example, numerical a few sums before you appear for the actual test.
5. Try to maintain both speed and accuracy especially for timed tests.

The bottom line is-to try and look at Psychometric Tests as an aide to the right job rater than as n obstacle, which must be overcome...

Most people wander through life looking for love and security outside of themselves. But before you find true happiness through relationships, it is important that you feel complete in yourself and let your spiritual side be fulfilled. Here's how you can do just that:
Constantly remind yourself of experience you want to have. It is up to you how you decide to feel. Don't limit yourself, remember that everything is possible. Once you decide what you want, have a vision for that experience. make yourself familiar to it, make sure you know that this is exactly what you want.
Let go of all your fears. Often, we avoid doing what we want because we are afraid to step out of our comfort zones. So start making a conscious effort to face and destroy your demon.
Examine what you believe about what's true for you. Be sure to write down whatever comes to your mind as you answer these question. Then look at what you have written and surely enough you will have all your questions answered. It is up to you to find yourself and not somebody else. No one except you can possibly know who you are.
Material success and happiness is all very good but joy that you will feel when you feel spiritually fulfilled. In today's world, material happiness does sort out a lot of issues so don't ignore that aspect of your life completely. Just strike a balance between the two and walk the path of happiness.
