SOUTH Oxfordshire District Council is the latest Oxfordshire authority to put its expenditure online.
Under new Government rules, all councils have until January to publish spending over £500.
Among the hundreds of payments listed by SODC was £6,555 for “psychologists”.
The council explained this was for purchasing psychometric tests used during recruitment.
Council spokesman Olivia Bucknall said: “The tests are applied to internal and external recruits to establish suitability for advertised posts, and for the development of management competence throughout the council.”
The tests examine team dynamics, management style, verbal critical reasoning and numerical critical reasoning.

Oxfordshire County Council and Cherwell District Council have yet to publish their expenditure.
