What is the Enneagram?
Excerpt quoted from website:
A fundamental element
of the enneagram is its description of nine distinct
personality types, each
a reflection of different patterns of thought,
feeling and action. Each
of the nine types is rooted in a specific viewpoint
or belief structure that
largely determines what is important to you and
how you interact with
the world to fulfill your hopes and dreams.

Work Temperament Checklist
Before you begin any
job search you must take an inventory of
your marketable employment
skills and determine your
work temperament preferences.
To inventory of your
skills should include:
· Hard skills
(objectively measurable skills, such as ability to use computer software)
· Soft skills
(subjectively measurable skills such as ability to organize)
· Transferable
skills (skills that can be used in a number of different jobs
such as writing abilities
or telephone etiquette skills, etc.)

Psychometric Tests
Excerpt quoted from website
http://www.thecareermanager.com/
Psychometric Testing
Employers are increasingly
turning to Psychometric Testing to assist them
in the cost effective
selection of new recruits.
Psychometric Tests are
normally used in conjunction with another type
of interview to assist
the employer to identify the key skills and traits
of potential employees.
Psychometric Assessments
normally take on one or more of the following:
Ability
Testing - measures an individual's potential for specific skills,
focusing on what a person
is capable of achieving as opposed
to what they may have
achieved in the past
Aptitude
Testing - very similar to ability testing, the main difference being
that Aptitude Testing
is used to measure a specific ability such
as computer programming
and ability testing is used to measure your general ability.
Personality
Testing - used to measure the key personality traits of a potential
employee.
It is important to ensure
that you answer the questions posed in
an honest manner to ensure
that your personality type will fit
into the organisation
and vice versa.
Psychometric
Tests normally have a number of inbuilt mechanisms designed
to spot inconsistencies
in your answers, try not to answer as you think
the employer would want
you to but concentrate on how you
would respond to a given
situation or have responded to an actual situation in the past.
