The interview
‘We would like to interview you ...’. Joyful words for the job-seeker, but my letter carried a warning: ‘You will be required to take a psychometric test.’ More than 70 per cent of companies now use these ‘objective’tests for potential employees. They are meant to give a true picture of candidates that removes the unfairness that may result from the personal opinions of interviewers.
On the day of my interview for the job of assistant to a company Public Relations consultant, my nerves were made worse by finding that the office was close to a hospital with particularly unhappy associations. Luckily, I had deliberately got there early so that I was able to calm myself down before a secretary rushed me upstairs for my test.
Keeping to a strict time limit, I had to assess groups of adjectives, marking which most and which least matched my ideas of myself at work. Choosing one quality out of four when all seemed appropriate was difficult, more difficult than the interview that followed-though I felt I hadn’t impressed in that either.
Confirmation of this arrived a week later. My rejection letter was accompanied by a copy of the Private and Confidential Personal Profile Analysis - two and a half sides of paper, based on that 10- minute test.
The Profile’s rude inaccuracy and its judgemental tone were harder to accept than the fact that I had been turned down for the job. Apparently, I have ‘no eye for detail’; I am also ‘a forceful individual... who leads rather than directs’ and am ‘motivated by financial reward to pay for good living.’ The words ‘impatient’, ‘restless’ and ‘strong-willed’ also came up.
‘A portrait of an ambitious, power-mad person,’ said a psychologist friend of 15 years to whom I showed the Profile. She said it didn’t apply to me at all.
I know myself to be a careful, industrious checker. I am shy but cheerful and a bit over-anxious to be thought creative. I am not a power-crazed person.
What would I do, I worried, if I had to take another test for another job, and this unattractive personality emerged again?
I sent the company a polite disagreement with the Profile, purely for the record. Meanwhile, I made a few enquiries.
Had my emotional state of mind made the results untypical of me? I had been disturbed to find the office so close to a hospital that held unhappy memories for me.
‘State of mind will have an impact,’ says Shane Pressey, an occupational psychologist, ‘but on the whole its effect will be relatively minor. It appears that the test was an inadequate tool for the amount of information they were trying to get out of it, and it is not surprising that there were inaccuracies.’
Too late for that particular job, I arranged to sit another psychometric test. This one took much longer and was more thorough; the profile was also more detailed and accurate - it showed my eye for detail and the fact that I have a problem meeting deadlines.
But a peculiar result is hard to challenge without seeming unable to take criticism. It is simply not acceptable to refuse to take a test, in case the job candidate seems uncooperative and eccentric.
The interview, with its yes/no personal feeling, is here to stay, but so is objective testing.
If my experience is anything to go by, the job candidate should be suspicious of 10-minute tests that result in generalised - and possibly wildly inaccurate - judgements. I accept that it would be costly to arrange for face-to-face discussions of test results with all job candidates, but a telephone call would be preferable to simply receiving a written ‘profile’through the post and having no opportunity to discuss its contents.
