In summary, the conversation is about a person looking for a psychometric test that involves a 6x6 matrix and using a blue and red pencil to mark specific boxes based on audio prompts. The person is also interested in a similar test that involves counting and judging the length of sounds while also identifying the placement of boxes in a 4x4 matrix. They are seeking advice or recommendations for tests that fit these descriptions.

Haj friends!


I'm looking for some kind of psychometric test. It works, something, like this.

You have a matrix of say 6x6, where colums are denoted as A-F while rows are denoted 1-6. In your left hand you got a blue pencil while in your right hand you got a red. The supervisor plays a tape which, at faster intervals, says, f.ex., "C-1-Blue" -- which translates to ticking of the [1,3]-box with your left pencil.

It's not necessarily exactly like this, but something like this. Anyone know of a similar, or exactly like, test as this one?

Thanks for any advice

EDIT: Another similar test I'm looking for goes something like this.

You're handed a piece of paper with a 3D-figure. It's x numbers of boxes stacked on top of each other. Your missions is to count the number of boxes while the supervisor plays a tape with Y numbers of different sounds . You also have to judge how long each sound is.There are Z sounds.

EDIT2: A different version of first test is having a 4x4 matrix and denoting each box by their up/down-left/right placement. (For ex. UP-UP-LEFT-LEFT would be upper-left corner, while DOWN-UP-RIGH-LEFT would be the box in the third row, third colum from top)

FAQ: Unraveling the Mystery of Psychometric Tests

What are psychometric tests?

Psychometric tests are a type of assessment used by psychologists to measure a person's cognitive abilities, personality traits, and emotional intelligence. These tests are often used in hiring processes, educational settings, and clinical evaluations.

What are the different types of psychometric tests?

There are several types of psychometric tests, including aptitude tests, personality tests, and intelligence tests. Aptitude tests measure a person's ability to learn and perform specific tasks. Personality tests assess a person's traits, behaviors, and characteristics. Intelligence tests measure a person's cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving and reasoning skills.

How are psychometric tests scored?

Psychometric tests are typically scored using statistical methods to compare an individual's performance to a norm group. Results are often presented as percentile ranks, which indicate how an individual's score compares to others who have taken the test.

Can psychometric tests be biased?

While efforts are made to create unbiased psychometric tests, there is always a risk of bias. This can occur if the test is not culturally sensitive or if the test items are not relevant to the target population. It is important for test developers to conduct extensive research and validation to minimize bias in psychometric tests.

How can psychometric tests benefit individuals and organizations?

Psychometric tests can provide valuable insights into a person's strengths, weaknesses, and potential. For individuals, these tests can help with career planning, personal development, and self-awareness. For organizations, psychometric tests can aid in the selection and development of employees, leading to more efficient and effective teams.
