  I know there is liekly to be verbal interpretation and numerical (calculation)

  That would be aptitude testing, not psychometric testing.

  As far as psychometric testing goes just avoid any answers that make you seem like a sociopath. For example, if there is a word association for "Colleagues/Teamwork/Manager" and your options are A) Building a flower nursery B) Building a nuclear bomb, you obviously choose the former. I've had that exact question before, by the way. Outside of that, just try to balance your answers so sometimes saying you'd take teamwork in this situation, or you think of working independently in these circumstances.

  Again, aptitude testing and psychometric testing are two different things, and as long as you aren't some extreme outlier triggering all kinds of personality disorder red flags on a psychometric test, you'll be fine.

    But but but building a nuclear bomb would be awesome!

    Stupid flowers.

    Personally I think the obvious is the Nuclear bomb answer, cause that's more likely to require a team of people of varying specific knowledge/skills.
    A flower nursery arguably could be run by an individual.

    There's nothing sociopathic about that answer. It's realistic that you need a strong team to build something as complex and dangerous as a bomb!
    Physchometric tests would link other answers to this one to evaluate your thought processes.

      Personally I think the obvious is the Nuclear bomb answer,

      It's to gauge if you're a techie or the touchy feely type.

      All bollocks anyway.

  There are no right or wrong answers on psychometric tests, and they are pretty hard to fudge.

  Wait are people mixing up psychometric testing with behavioral and personality tests or am I?

  If it is what I think it is, deff look it up online, theres heaps of places with examples, but if you can try to find ones that have explained answers and they give examples of the more difficult ones, they're the best to look up. Once you have an idea of quite a few of the ways they do it, it becomes a lot easier to see the patterns or similar ones.

  I found some great answers through PDF versions of the psychometirc tests, so might be worth adding pdf to your searches, or google images?

  Another thing they typically do is they have way more questions then you should be able to get through, so you might have say 30 questions which should take you 30 minutes, but they'll give you 25. I'm not sure why, I always assumed it showed whether you're a person that takes more time finishing questions or get them right, but when I did one recently all I was given was a number score. But what I'm saying is keep time in mind, if you can, move on and come back, answer as many as you can in my opinion.

  Lastly look up the company thats doing it and what questions they have, a lot of companies do things differently and you don't want to spend most of your time getting used to what the questions are like that you could use answering them. Sometimes they're basic one lined puzzles, sometimes they're matrix like, sometimes they're just annoyingly hard to read using tiny symbols.

  Anyways mate, good luck!
