They are not "pass or fail" tests. Psychological testing is designed to supplement the information available from traditional methods such as interviewing and reference checking. Their purpose is to indicate: • Your obvious and hidden strengths • Particular abilities you have that can be developed • Which areas of work will appeal to you • Whether your current or potential position will make good use of your strengths and abilities • Which career and study choices may be appropriate for you For more information on Psychological Assessments please visit our website www.chandlermacleod.com What will I be doing? The assessment program consists of a series of questionnaires and tests, which could take around 3-4 hours, depending on the tests required. There may also be a brief interview if you have not recently been to Chandler Macleod. Although you will work on your tasks individually, you will be tested in a group setting with people who are being tested for other positions and organisations. The timed tests are usually carried out first, these look at your abstract thinking, and verbal and numerical abilities. Thereafter, depending on the position for which you are being assessed, you will complete several un-timed questionnaires and possibly additional timed tests.
