Hi Vanita,
Psychometric assessment provides employers with an objective and unbiased measure of all things that underlies an individuals performance and fit to a role and organizational culture that can not be assessed accurately by other means.
If used in conjunction with traditional recruitment methods of assessment such as resume screening, interviews, skill testing and reference checking, psychometric assessment provides important information that can be particularly helpful in making right hiring decision.
Warm regards

Dear Vanita,
Namaskar.
Question of reliabilty does not come at the time of recruitment. It is a step in test standardisation.
Test standardisation has following components:
1. Item specification/collection,
2. Mode of test administration,
3. Item analysis and item selection,
4. Reliabilty estimation,
5.Validity estimation and
6.Norm estimation.
These are technical information about any test which help a user to decide whether or not to use the test.

Hello Vanita:
>Can any one tell me the realibility of psychometric testing.
Because it is very subjective. In the process of recruitment
when used how is it evaluated.<
The following coefficients are from the publication "Testing and Assessment: an Employer's Guide to Good Practices", Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1999,
Reliability coefficients
---------------------------
0.90 and above, excellent
0.80 - 0.89 good
0.70 - 0.79 adequate
0.69 or less, may have limited applicability.
Validity coefficient value interpretation
-----------------------------------------------
0.35 and above, very beneficial
0.21 - 0.35 likely to be useful
0.11 - 0.20 depends on circumstances
0.10 or below, unlikely to be useful
Does this help?

Dear Robert,
Namaskar.
Nice to post the reliabilty and validity ranges. But different reliabilities have different implications and different valididies have different implications. So will you please name the reliability and validity whose estimations you have posted?
