Psychometric testing
The importance of psychometric testing
Over 95% of the FTSE 100 companies use psychometric testing to select their staff, as do the police, the civil service, airlines and even football clubs such as AC Milan which has used profiling to understand what motivates its players.
Why psychometric testing is important for contractors?
When you do a job that you love, it hardly feels like working. You owe it to yourself to discover your ideal job and your ideal work environment. A personality report describes your ideal work environment.
What is psychometric testing?
There are two main types of psychometric tests used by employers as part of their selection processes; aptitude tests and personality questionnaires.
Personality questionnaires are used to determine how people are likely to behave under various conditions. There are no right or wrong answers, and the questionnaires are usually completed in your own time. The best way to approach these questionnaires is to answer them as honestly and straightforwardly as you can. Personality questionnaires can also be used as self-assessment tools to help you understand your preferences and how these relate to your strengths and possible areas for development.
Aptitude tests examine abilities such as numerical, verbal or abstract reasoning; they do not test intelligence or general knowledge. Often presented in a multiple-choice format, the questions have definite right and wrong answers. They are usually strictly-timed and increasingly computerised, and to be successful you need to work through them as quickly and accurately as possible. Aptitude tests can also be used as self-assessment tools to help you understand how your abilities relate to career choices.

“The mission of World Trout in part is to preserve native diversity of fishes and the idea is to raise money to give to individuals or grassroots organizations who live in places where trout live and can protect the habitat and the fish. I think the most urgent thing to do is to preserve what diversity we have left.”

Fisherman’s Bastion (Halászbástya)
24.July, 2009
Budapest, Hungary

Buda Castle District, Metro: M2 Moszkva tér, M2 Batthyány tér, Várbusz (Castle Bus)
The Fishermen’s Bastion (designed by Frigyes Schluek) is made up of seven round towers – each one symbolising the seven Magyar tribes that effectively gave rise to the nation a thousand years earlier.
Almost fairytale like in appearance, its decorative white rampart and flowing staircases stretch alongside the eastern front of the Mátyás Templom. According to tradition, the area directly behind the church housed a local fish market during medieval times – hence the name of the Bastion. During the 18th century, the Guild of Fisherman are also said to have traditionally defended this part of the castle wall.
The glorious views of Parliament and Pest beyond are simply breathtaking. In fact, there’s arguably no finer place in Budapest to propose to your nearest and dearest, or go for a romantic stroll on a warm summer’s night!
Fishermen’s Castle In previous years, the area directly opposite the entrance to the Mátyás Templom was also chock-full of stalls selling Hungarian lace and other traditional souvenirs. These have since been relocated further afield towards the Royal Palace at Disz tér. However, local artists still beckon tourists to sit for caricatures, which curiously enough, all finish up with the same exaggerated facial features.

“I was amazed when I discovered that this imposing neo-Gothic or neo-Romanesque structure was not built until 1895-1905. It is named after the Guild of Fishermen, who were responsible for defending this section of castle wall in the Middles Ages and who operated a fish market behind the nearby Matyas Church. The structure was designed by the same architect who rebuilt Matyas Church and it is purely decorative.
Frankly, I wanted to consider it medieval. It looks medieval, it offers one of the best views in Budapest, and it fits perfectly with my picture of what this fort should be like. The seven white turrets apparently represent the seven Magyar tribes who entered this region in the 9th century. You can walk narrow stairways, explore secret corners, and generally imagine you are patrolling the parapet of ancient castle. It was great.
The Bastion is a wonderful place for photographs. I was not particularly successful, but with correct lighting and inspired choice of position, you can produce a masterpiece here. That alone makes it worthwhile visiting for some. I was there mid-morning, but best views towards Pest are obtained early afternoon.
During the peak season, there is a charge for visiting the upper level, but when I visited at the end of October, no charge applied and few people were enjoying the experience.
Between the Bastion and the church, there is a fine statue of King Stephen, honouring the founder of the Hungarian nation and its incorporation into European civilization.”

Die Fischerbastei ist ein von Frigyes Schulek von 1895 bis 1902 errichtetes, neoromanisches Monument in der ungarischen Hauptstadt Budapest. Es erhebt sich auf dem Burgberg an der Stelle des mittelalterlichen Fischmarkts von Buda. Der Name stammt von einer Fischergilde, für die das Monument errichtet wurde. Diese Gilde hatte im Mittelalter diesen Abschnitt der Stadtmauer zu verteidigen. Das skurrile Bauwerk, das mit seinen konischen Türmen an die Zelte der Magyaren erinnern soll, wird als Aussichtsterrasse auf Donau und Pest genutzt.
Vor der Bastei steht eine Reiterstatue aus Bronze des heiligen Stephan, des Königs, der das Christentum in Ungarn verbreitete. 1906 wurde sie vom Bildhauer Alajos Stróbl entworfen und gefertigt. Das Postament, worauf die Statue ruht, wurde ebenfalls nach Plänen von Frigyes Schulek im neoromansichen Stil errichtet. Es ist mit Zierelementen geschmückt, die das Leben von König Stephan darstellen.
Gleichfalls in unmittelbarer Nähe befindlich ist die überwiegend neogotische Matthiaskirche.
