What is PreciseFit and why must I complete it?

PreciseFit is an online psychometric assessment test developed for the bursary application process. It uses standard and scientifc ways to measure applicants’ capabilities and behavioural styles through several questions. Generally, psychometric tests are designed specially to measure candidates’ suitability for specific job roles based on the required personality characteristics and aptitude needed to work in the specific area. That’s why even if an applicant takes a test multiple times, if the job isn’t suited to the type of person they are, the test will always come back negative.
