Hi guys, I've got shortlisted for the psychometric test portion. Anyone here have attempted it before? And what kind of questions will they pose?

Psychometric test meaning U got through the first group interview/sharing session? That would mean u have a panel interview coming up and have completed the situational test. The psychometric tests are personality tests. It's nothing U can prepare for. It's just a matter of fitment. Just to assess if your personality fits what they are looking for.

Nope, that is not the case. A couple of weeks after submitting my application on careers@gov, I received an email notifying me that I was shortlisted for an online psychometric test, with no mention of any group interview or sharing session. Could you perhaps share a rough timeline prior to your letter of appointment?

 

[bangjago]

My application still in progress, went through psychometric test recently. If there's progress, don't mind if I DM you more in the future for more info ya.

Application > one month or so after is group interview and situational assessment (psychometric assessment) > a few days after email to complete submission of docs > a few days after email for panel interview and personality test > panel interview around 2 weeks to one month after email ( might get postponed by them) > a few days after panel interview received email to book and attend medical > one month after medical received offer.

Rough timeline. It's not fixed and is subject to changes so don't get too fixated on it.

I found that it is difficult to find any information online about this. Hence, here are some basic tips for applicants, I will not answer any additional questions though:

(1) Build up your physical strength in both cardio and muscle mass, you'll thank me later!
(2) Recognise that Rehabilitation is not the main purpose of this role --> if you are looking for that then further your career in Psychology or the like
(3) Read up on roles of a Correctional Unit Officer from other countries, through YouTube, Reddit & Quora forums to improve your understanding of what you are signing up for

We will definitely be batch mates

No other updates ever since my uniform fitting!

1 April - Attachment

My attachment prior to training commencement is 2 weeks like yours too. I don't know what to expect for this. I presume it's a staff department attachment to give us a preview of our future postings.

Also, great tips for incoming trainees and applicants. Thanks for sharing!
