Mensa Psychometric Testing.

Has anyone used this to help decide on further study? Was it useful? Does anyone know of a cheaper one or something more effective?

  • They usually have versions of these in most college and university careers centres for free, I would check these out before spending any money.

    I wouldn't pay a lot of money for online tests because the diagnostic session with a trained person afterwards is often the most useful part.

    When I worked for Nextstep we were able to offer psychometric testing to a small number of people as part of the guidance process and that may still be the case. In some areas of the country their services are aimed at people with a lower level of qualifications but it wouldn't do any harm to contact them locally to ask.
  • I wasn't aware of nextstep. I'll try them. Thanks. I've been on graduateprospects and so far all I've had is spam from universities.
