Purpose of Using “Psychometric Profiling” and “Instrumentation”
We use the term “psychometric profiling” and “psychometric testing” for search engine optimisation purposes. By incorporating common words and phrases that individuals may use to find our services, we increase the likelihood of reaching those who can benefit from our expertise. It is important to note that psychometric instruments are not traditional tests. They involve selecting preferences through various methods such as cards, scales, surveys, inventories, and type instruments. Your responses to these instruments determine the outcome of the profiling based on your individual perception and preferences. There are no right or wrong answers; it is simply about understanding your unique characteristics.
