Frequently Asked Questions

What is a psychometric assessment?

A psychometric assessment is a scientifically validated tool that measures aspects of a person's psychology — such as cognitive ability, personality, work preferences, or career interests. Unlike interviews or CVs, psychometric assessments provide objective, standardised data that can be compared across candidates or used to inform development planning.

How are assessments delivered?

All assessments are delivered online via a secure link sent directly to the candidate or individual. They can be completed on any device at a time that suits them — no special software required.

How long does an assessment take?

Completion times vary by assessment — typically between 20 and 60 minutes. Specific completion times are listed on each assessment page.

How quickly will I receive the report?

Reports are delivered to your nominated email address within 24 hours of the candidate completing their assessment.

Are these assessments scientifically validated?

Yes. Every assessment on our platform is scientifically validated, meaning it has been rigorously tested for reliability (it measures consistently) and validity (it measures what it claims to measure).

Can candidates fail a psychometric assessment?

For personality and preference assessments — no. There are no right or wrong answers. These tools measure style and preference, not ability. For cognitive aptitude assessments, candidates receive a score compared against relevant norm groups, but there is no universal pass or fail threshold.

What happens to candidate data?

All assessment data is handled in accordance with Australian Privacy Principles. Candidate data is used solely for the purpose of generating reports and is not shared with third parties.

Can I order assessments for multiple candidates at once?

Yes. Simply contact us with your candidate list and required assessments and we'll coordinate the entire process. For volume orders, contact us to discuss pricing.

Do all prices include GST?

All prices shown are exclusive of GST. GST will be added at checkout.

What if I'm not sure which assessment is right?

Contact us at hello@psychometrics.au and we'll help you choose the right tool for your specific goals — no obligation.

How do I pay?

A tax invoice is provided once your candidate has completed their tests. Payment can be made securely via card or bank transfer details.
