Psychometric Testing
There are two main reasons why Psychometric assessments should be conducted. Firstly, to establish
the person’s inherent abilities, personal characteristics, interests and morals. Secondly, the assessment
can be helpful to choose subjects to enhance the best possibilities for a future career.
The assessment can play an important role at various stages of a person’s life. Learners have to choose
subjects at the end of their Grade 9 year. By applying the psychometric assessment, the learners can
obtain a valuable idea of which subjects would be the best for their future career. After analyzing the
results, an appointment will be made to discuss the report with the learner and the parents or
guardians.
At the end of the school career it is also important to do an assessment to assist the student in deciding
which career path to follow. Colleges and Universities have many faculties. Through assessments the
student can be guided to make the right decisions. Even later in life, psychometric assessments can
assist a person if they want to change or improve their career field.
After every assessment a comprehensive report is supplied and feedback is given to the individual as
well as the parent or guardian. All the results are analyzed and integrated, upon which
recommendations are made.

task which typically takes place in the latter part of a learners Grade 9

their chosen study path or career field. A Subject Choice Assessment

decision.
