Psychometric Testing

Does anyone know of any good books to help with preparation for the psychometric assessments the airlines use? As for the tech questions, are they fairly basic or do they expect a detailed knowledge of specific aircraft types that they operate, ie would revising from the Bristol Groundschool notes be sufficient? Thanks

From www.amazon.co.uk I got the "Times Psychometric Tests Volume 1" CD. This covers mechanical, numerical and verbal reasoning tests (not personality). Doing the numerical one once a day has considerably sharpened my mental arithmetic. The verbal reasoning ones are the hardest and very hard if you only give yourself enough time to read the passage once!!

Alternatively vists www.emode.com for IQ and personality tests. However, I think these are light weight in comparison to the tests the Airlines will put you through!

There is a web site called All the tests which is helpful. www.allthetests.com and www.shldirect.com has a few sample tests that are worth looking at.

Good luck.
