The purpose of psychometrics is to estimate and predict someone's probability of success and performance for some position as precise as possible by measuring their behaviour with psychometric tests.
Psychological assessments measure various factors, depending on what your need is. You can measure cognitive ability, someone's personality trait(s), specific abilities, skills, etc.
The basics of psychological assessments generally include personality tests, cognitive or intelligence tests, specific tests (for example, attitude, interest, or situational tests), as well as information gathered through interviews.
Psychological tests have two main categories: cognitive and personality tests. However, there are many other types of tests (attitudes, perception, interest, etc.), that don't fit directly into any of those two, but can be categorized as ''other''.
