Psychometrics is the theory and technique of quantifiable psychological Measurement. The Cambridge University psychometrics center mentions the following three types of psychometric tests,

• Abilities: people’s capacity to work with numbers, words, diagrams and systems
• Attainment: what people actually know about an area
• Personality: how people are typically likely to act. This covers a huge range of aspects from people’s motivations and values to how they characteristically react to authority and their honesty or integrity

Mix and match of these categories results in information on emotional intelligence, trainability, leadership, customer service orientation and how people think.
