If you want a good introduction to the sort of tests used for selecting people for jobs this may be the book for you ! It describes all the main sorts of tests and how they are put together; in addition guidance is given on preparation and the sorts of strategies you can use when taking tests. Sure it does not contain thousands of examples but given that there are many, many different sorts of tests this is perhaps no bad thing. Infact you can then move onto other Kogan Page books on testing and be in a much better position to do the practice questions they contain. I would certainly recommend this book to all those who think that testing will be part of their next interview.

I was looking for a guide to master psychometric tests. All this book described however were a number of tests used for job positions and what they were generally aiming at. How to beat psychometric tests? Hardly worth a comment here. You could read it in about 10 minutes. If your job entails these tests and you are worried about taking them - you might bother to read this book - otherwise for an insight into psychometric tests in a serious fashion - leave it. I wish I could return this book for a full refund AND the postage - but the returns policy will make me lose the postage - which to the UK was 3 times the price of the book If you want a copy in the UK you can buy it from me - at cost of book only !!

I would recommend this book to anyone who will be doing tests as part of their interview. It gives a host of tips on how to prepare and what to look out for. It helped me, made me more confident, and played a big part in getting me a new job.
