Kama ni mimi naachana nao.Jamani i agree the importance of doing this test as mentioned by one of JF member lakini nataka kuuliza how many companies ask for this test? We should be smart enough and realise that this is just pre-shortlist and rem the number of people who called radar...that means we are many who are told to do this test...now the question is: is it worth it? why should we pay for the prospective job?
Jamani nauliza how many more companies in dar or tz require this test? has anyone doen this test and passed? and then used his or her certificate to get a job? to stand out of the rest? is there some one out there?
pls enlighten me...i smell something fishy...fishy ... fishy....
Hata mimi nimehisi kitu.Ni kampuni gani hii? Kwakweli sidhani kama a reputable company would ask people to do this. Very fishy. Kabla mtu hajapoteza hela tafuteni number ya simu ya hiyo company (sio mnayopewa on email) mmpige muulize.
Basi kumbe kwa maelezo yako hiyo test ni sawa tu na Aptitude test tu.Nakumbuka test ya radar ilikuwa inahusisha hesabu, kiingereza na personality. Unaulizwa maswali yanyoonekana ya kitoto ila yanapima reasoning yako. You will be suprised how stupid you can look unapopewa score yako ya Test. Radar walifikia mahali wakaacha kutoa score maana ilikuwa aibu. mtu unasocre nzuri za GPA lakini unaulizwa swali la form two la hesabu unashindwa. Kisa? Badala ya kutumia logic wewe unataka kuanza kucalculate.
Here is abit of info. Nikipata muda nitawawekea link ya vitabu vyenye maswali ya test for your own tests.
Psychometric Testing
Measuring "Hidden" Traits
Psychometric testing can objectively assess "hidden" traits.

Measuring attributes like height, weight, and strength is reasonably simple. These are all physical and observable traits that you can assess objectively. But what about factors that aren't so easy to measure?
Traits such as personality, intelligence, attitude, and beliefs are important characteristics to measure and assess. Whether you're hiring people, helping team members understand themselves and their relationships with others, or trying to figure out what you want to do with your life, it's useful to assess these types of "hidden," less obvious attributes.
One way to gather this information is through psychometric tests. The article looks at what psychometric tests are, what they measure, and how they can help you in both recruiting staff and developing you career.
What Are Psychometric Tests?
Psychometric tests include personality profiles, reasoning tests, motivation questionnaires, and ability assessments. These tests try to provide objective data for otherwise subjective measurements.
For example, if you want to determine someone's attitude, you can ask the person directly, observe the person in action, or even gather observations about the person from other people. However, all of these methods can be affected by personal bias and perspective. By using a psychometric test, you make a more objective and impartial judgment.
Since objectivity is key to using these assessments, a good psychometric test provides fair and accurate results each time it's given. To ensure this, the test must meet these three key criteria:
Standardization – The test must be based on results from a sample population that's truly representative of the people who'll be taking the test. You can't realistically test every working person in a country. But you can test a representative sample of that group, and then apply the results to the specific people whom you test.
Also, a standardized test is administered the same way every time to help reduce any test bias. By using a standardized test, you can compare the results with anyone whose characteristics are similar to those of the sample group.
Reliability – The test must produce consistent results, and not be significantly influenced by outside factors. For instance, if you're feeling stressed when you take the test, the test results shouldn't be overly different from times when you were excited or relaxed.
Validity – This is perhaps the most important quality of a test. A valid test has to measure what it's intended to measure. If a test is supposed to measure a person's interests, then it must clearly demonstrate that it does actually measure interests, and not something else that's just related to interests.
Note:
Psychometrics is the study of educational and psychological measurements. The adjective "psychometric" is used to describe psychological tests (typically those used in educational and occupational settings) that are standardized as well as proven to be reliable and valid measures of areas like personality, ability, aptitude, and interest.
Beyond these criteria, effective psychometric tests must be relevant to the modern workplace. Before using one of these tests, make sure the test has been validated and updated recently.
What Do Psychometric Tests Measure?
Psychometric tests can measure interests, personality, and aptitude.
Interest tests measure how people differ in their motivation, values, and opinions in relation to their interests.
Personality tests measure how people differ in their style or manner of doing things, and in the way they interact with their environment and other people.
Aptitude tests measure how people differ in their ability to perform or carry out different tasks.
Advantages of Psychometric Tests
Psychometric tests can help to make personnel and career-related assessments more objective.
These tests also save a great deal of time. They're typically very easy to administer, and they can be given to a group of people easily. (Some other types of assessments must be given individually.) Psychometric tests are also easily scored, so results come back quickly and reliably.
Many of these tests are completed using software programs, and some can even be completed online. This, again, provides a time advantage, and it can reduce costs significantly compared to other methods. People can take the tests from anywhere, and the results are accurately scored each time.
Note:
There are costs involved in purchasing tests as well as in hiring or training someone to administer and evaluate them. It's important to consider these costs against the advantages that the tests may bring.
Using Psychometric Tests
Psychometric tests can be used for a variety of purposes. Some of the most common uses are as follows:
Selection of personnel – Here, tests can help recruiters and hiring managers determine candidates who best fit a position. Personality, aptitude, and knowledge tests are all very common in this type of testing situation. For a detailed discussion of these types of tests and how to use them for hiring, see our article on Using Recruitment Tests.
Individual development and training – Psychometric tests can help you determine how best to improve current skills and performance. For example, if your department is going to introduce a new type of technology, it might be helpful to assess people on their interests and motivations related to new technology. The Business Attitude Inventory and the California Measure of Mental Motivation are psychometric tests available for training and development purposes. You could also use aptitude and skills tests to determine a person's ability to perform certain tasks.
Team building and development – This area can provide many uses for psychometric tests. The better people understand themselves and others, the better they can build and maintain positive workplace relationships. Tests like FIRO-B , DiSC, and the Hogan Development Survey are designed specifically to uncover potential sources of relationship tension. General personality assessments, including the Myers-Briggs Typology Indicator (MBTI) and the California Personality Inventory (CPI), are also very helpful for team building and strengthening. Values in Action can help you gain insights into group behaviors and dynamics that relate to people's values.
Career development and progression – Psychometric tests can help you uncover values and interests that are fundamental to overall career satisfaction. For those starting out in their careers and those who are looking for the right career path, interest surveys like Holland's Codes and Schein's Career Anchors are also useful psychometric tests to consider.
Hii huwa ni mtihani wa kukupima IQ yako mfano uwezo wa kujibu maswali kama ya basic mathematics, mambo ya social affairs hususan yale common duniani, jinsi unavyoweza kujibu kutokana na muda mfupi pia kuhusu lugha upo vipi kwenye uandishi, uzungumzaji n.k baada ya hapo hupewa cheti cha uthibitisho.but no one amesema what that test is all about. sijaona hapa...coz i just need to know

Ukiwauliza kuhusu hizo test watakutumia link. Ukiingia huwa wanakuambia wanafanya kwa gharama za kiasi flani. Ukituma kuna mawili unaweza ukafanya au usifanyiwe lkn mkishatuma kama watu 100 mtakuwa mmeshaliingizia pato taifa la Kenya na mishahara ya hao watu wanne waishi kwa mwez husika. Kumbuka kufanya hiyo test sio garentii ya wewe kupata ajira.
Kila la kheri Kikwete alisema chukua haya changanya na akili yako chukua maamuzi. Tanzania kwa sasa sijui kama kuna taasisi zinazofanya hizi test nyingi zimesitisha baada ya kuona lawama ni nyingi.

What is CAPT?
Cognitive Ability Psychometric Test is a maximum performance test that tests what you can achieve when you are making maximum effort. The test is divided into four parts (number accuracy and speed, word meaning, spatial visualisation and personality assessment) each with its own questions and a score.
After the test you will be awarded a certificate (simply a score card) which shows your scores and a total overall score.
How is your score interpreted?
Well, your scores are compared with an appropriate norm group. This is done by comparing the educational level, occupation, language cultural background and other demographic characteristics of the individuals making up the test group and the norm group to ensure their similarity.
In the world of work it is important for an employer to make some assessment of how effectively a new worker will perform. Over the past 80 years thousands of studies of this type of question have involved various assessments of potential new recruits: interviews, references, personality tests, graphology, intelligence tests, and so forth. The field's thousands of studies were reviewed by Schmidt and Hunter (1998). They found that a psychometric test of general intelligence had an average correlation of 0.51 with work performance.
Work performance is assessed in various ways, but one common method is ratings by supervisors. The only assessment that did better was a ‘work sample' test, where people carry out some of the work they will be doing in the job. This type of assessment is expensive and not suitable to many situations, whereas a mental test is cheap and can be given to all applicants. By comparison with mental tests, the following correlated more poorly with job performance: unstructured interview (0.38), conscientiousness test (0.31), reference checks (0.26), job experience (0.18), years of education (0.10), and graphology (0.02). Thus a cheap and fast mental test is almost universally applicable in recruitment for employment and has surprisingly high utility.
CAPT has increasingly become important these days.
