Abstract

The introduction and application of psychometric testing in HRM has proved to bestow benefits across so many different aspects that fall into the role of human resource (HR). Though popular for being used for employee selection, psychometric testing has been used for many other purposes as well. This paper aims at highlighting the different functions of HR across which psychometric testing could be put to use, and also provides an insight into the types and tools of psychometric testing. Descriptive research has been carried out to address the objectives of the current research paper. The research indicates that psychometric testing is a phenomenon that has immense potential when used within the framework of the set standards and guidelines by trained/certified professionals. Using psychometric tests in conjunction with traditional HR practices leads to improved organisational effectiveness through minimising problems such as bad-hires, labour turnover, low levels of employee engagement, etc.
