You can expect to pay £900 for general psychometric testing in London, with some tests costing more or less. There may also be discounts for “bundles” of several different tests.
The NHS doesn’t offer psychometric testing to patients, although it does use it in its recruitment processes. For reliable psychometric testing, most people visit a private practitioner.
