Does anyone knows what is the psychometric test about?

Does it include verbal reasoning?

The test is all done on a laptop. Questions are mostly patterns/shapes as well as scenario based questions. However, the questions aren't directly related to police work.

The process for DES is the same regardless of gender apart from a few NS related administrative matters. You can refer to my post which I've quoted below. If the Careers@GOV portal lists you as shortlisted, you should receive an email for Selection Assessment soon. Good Luck!

Selection assessment for Direct Entry Sergeant (DES) consists of 4 segments:

1. Verification of Documents

Candidates would be given a blue folder with some forms. They'll need to place the documents that they were instructed to bring in the folder and follow the recruitment officers' instructions when filling in the forms.
(the forms are really wordy and complex and if you mess up, you'll have to redo them and get an earful from the recruitment officer)
Candidates would be called by the number on the file instead of their names and once called, they'll proceed to the officer who will verify the validity of his/her documents and certificates.

2. Physical Examination

After all candidates' documents have been verified, the males will proceed to one room, the females another room. Inside, candidates would have their height and weight taken. Candidates would also be asked to remove their shirt and spread your arms out. They will ask for candidates to declare any past surgeries or fractures as well as confirming any tattoos.

3. Psychometric Test

After Physical Examination, the candidates will be brought to Police Cantonment Complex (***) to complete the Psychometric test. It's done on a computer and from what I recall, most of the questions are situational based. After completing the test, you are released for a lunch break.

Candidates who are re-applicants who completed the psychometric test before do not need to re-take the test. Hence, they are allowed to have their lunch break right after the physical examination.

4. Panel Interview

After candidates report back to Home Team Career Centre (HTCC), they will be broken up into groups and led to different interview rooms. Candidates would be interviewed by 2-3 senior officers. Each interview takes about 10-15 mins per candidate. Candidates are free to leave after their interview is done.
