Psychometric Assessments
Psychometric assessments (career, psychological, and academic) are used by human resources professionals, career/employment counsellors, career practitioners, counsellors, family therapists, and rehabilitation professionals. However, only those professionals with a degree and specific training in tests and measurements are able to purchase, administer, and interpret “B” level assessments.
