  there has been a debate going on which is better
  Psychometric Test or Aptitude Test? Although
  usage of both type of tests fits in different
  scenarios, but it is always discussed which one
  should be given preference. Here is a detailed
  analysis from Applicant Tracking System about
  Psychometric Test and Aptitude Test.

• Aptitude Test By definition, Aptitude Test is
  used to access the problem solving and reasoning
  ability of the candidates. This tests helps
  recruiters to obtain the informed decision about
  the candidates ability and skills to handle the
  current job at hand. Almost 80 of the companies
  worldwide are trusting this tool.
• But this whole process is based on the assumption
  that Psychometric test can reduce the risk of a
  bad hire or onboarding an unfit candidate.
  Psychometric test does not measure the skills of
  the candidate required to handle the job they are
  getting hired for. Also, there is no pre-defined
  pattern of such tests, every company comes up
  with their own design, making the results outcome
  more debatable.
