Bond psychometric tests and interview in details:

1. Bond's clinical personality psychometric test

This Bond psychometric test is a clinical personality test that includes over 200 forced-choice test questions. Bond's personality test is designed to assist Bond to identify your suitability for the role of a medical practitioner and medical student. It includes personality traits such as coping with stress, confidence, depression, ability to manage anger, planning skills, ability to work with others, how assertive you are and more.

Please review the following example of a personality test question:

People often turn out not be as nice as they seem.

To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Strongly disagree
Disagree
Neutral
Agree
Strongly Agree

This test question is a covert type of personality test question that measures your trust in others. Trust is a very important factor in Bond's decision regarding whether you are likely to be a good medical student and medical practitioner or not.

Please note: the risk with taking the personality test is that you can easily get a personality profile that says that you have a red flag. Once you have one red flag then you are automatically disqualified from proceeding. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that you answer the personality test in the proper way to not get any red flags.

2. Bond's emotional intelligence psychometric test

Bond's second psychometric test is an emotional Intelligence test that includes over 100 forced-choice test questions. Bond's emotional intelligence test measures your overall emotional reasoning based on eight different emotional intelligence abilities:

Identifying emotions in facial expressions.
Understanding how emotions facilitate behaviours.
Understanding how and why emotions change.
Managing positive and negative emotions.
Identifying how visuals can impact emotions.
Identifying associations for emotions.
Ability to understand and manage multiple emotions.
Ability to use emotions to manage relationships.

Bond's psychometric tests - emotional intelligence test - has a wide range of test questions styles which makes this psychometric test a fairly challenging one to answer.

Please review the following example of one style of test questions for Bond's emotional intelligence test:

How much is each feeling below expressed in this picture?

Happy 1-5

Sad 1-5

Fear 1-5

Anger 1-5

Disgust 1-5

Here you need to analyse the content and colours of the image presented to identify the correct emotions and the intensity of each emotion on a scale of 1 to 5.

Now, let's review a very different style of test questions in the same emotional intelligence test:

How much is each feeling in the list below expressed by this face?

Happiness (1-5)

Sadness (1-5)

Fear (1-5)

Anger (1-5)

Disgust (1-5)

Here you need to analyse the facial expression to identify the correct emotion and the intensity of the emotion on a scale of 1 to 5.

These are only 2 examples out of a wide range of test questions styles in the emotional intelligence test.

3. Bond's interviews (MMI and role-play):

What to expect in Bond's medical interviews?

Once you passed your Bond psychometric tests, you will receive an invite from Bond to participate in an on campus interview day. The interview day includes 4-6 separate interview stations. In each individual station you are given 6 minutes to complete the station and 2 minutes to read information before starting the station. In the group station, you are given 10 minutes to complete a group task. These stations can include the following:

A station focusing on you. You can be asked to write why you want to learn at Bond. This a very critical station as this is the first time that Bond gets to meet you and hear why you want to enrol into the program.
A station with a role play in which you are asked to respond to an actor playing a role. How you respond and what type of emotions you demonstrate will determine how well you will succeed in this station.
A station in which you are given a short scenario to read and then asked three questions about the scenario.
A station in which you will participate in a group activity and you will be assessed based on the role you take in the group.

The special interviews for Bond University medical school will only be offered to those who passed the Psychometric Test. Over the past years, the Institute of Psychometric Coaching has assisted many successful applicants to become better prepared for their Bond interviews. We offer a range of intensive and highly effective interview preparation programs for which you can enrol now.

Teamwork
Communication skills
Accountability
Ethical decision-making skills
Motivation

Interviews are held in person on campus at Bond University on the Gold Coast, where their general suitability to medicine and preparedness to undertake a highly demanding course will be examined in 4-5 mini interviews

Once the interviews are complete, successful applicants are made an offer into the Bond Medical Program. This offer must be accepted within a specified timeframe. Bond University may make subsequent offers until all available places are filled.

FAQs

What is Bond psychometric test?

Based on what has happened in previous years, Bond will ask you to complete 2 Psychometric tests within a set time of 2 hours. Bond psychometric tests measure aspects of your clinical personality and your emotional intelligence.

What are Bond psychometric test questions like?

There are a large range of psychometric test questions in the Bond Emotional Intelligence psychometric test as well as the Bond Personality psychometric test. However, that’s where the similarities end. The Bond psychometric tests differ greatly in their styles and nature. The Bond Emotional Intelligence psychometric test assesses your ability to understand emotions using a range of day-to-day situations. The Bond Personality Test works with a framework of personality traits and personality disorders that attempt to determine your personality profile by asking you to rate your level of agreement with a list of statements.

How are you scored on Bond psychometric test?

Both psychometric tests are marked on the same basis, and that is purely and simply: competitive. Your ranking is determined not only by how well you went on the psychometric tests, but also by how well all the other applicants went on theirs. The applicants who achieve the highest score and do not trigger any personality risks are then moved to the next step.

What happens if I get a wrong answer in my Bond psychometric test?

Incorrect answers will impact your ranking on Bond psychometric test. The further it drops the greater the amount of applicants between you and your invitation for Bond’s interview.

Will Bond see my psychometric test answers?

The short answer to that is ‘no’. Bond will receive your personality profile which will have in red areas of risks for you as a medical student and/or medical practitioner. Bond will also receive your scores on each of the sections of the emotional intelligence test. Based on these they will make a decision whether you will be in the lucky group of applicants moved forward to Bond’s interviews.

What is Bond emotional intelligence psychometric test?

Bond emotional intelligence test is designed to assess your emotional intelligence across 8 different emotional intelligence aspects such as recognising emotional expressions, understanding emotional responses, understanding the impact of emotions on behaviour, understanding combination of emotions, etc. This means that having a solid understanding of what emotions are, how to recognise them, how and why they occur and how we can develop effective ways of managing them is key.

What if I need to reschedule my coaching session for Bond?

We will try to accommodate your need but please consider that as we get closer to the Bond psychometric test or Bond interviews, it will be very difficult to find a new date for your session. Therefore, please be very attentive when booking in your times.

What are the risks of being prepared by a Bond medical student who passed the Bond psychometric tests?

While this option sounds very attractive, as the student shows you that they passed the test, there are two big hidden risks in doing so. The first risk is that the student does not actually know what they answered correctly and what they answered incorrectly. None of them are psychometricians or psychologists. Therefore, they might misguide you on how to answer and cause you to fail your Bond psychometric test. The second risk is that the scores on Bond psychometric test are percentile scores. This means that you are measured in comparison to others in your group. Therefore, the fact that someone passed the Bond psychometric test in a certain year does not means that they will pass a similar test in a year that has more smart students applying.
