If you’re just getting into the job market, and you want to advance your career, chances are you’ll be asked to take an employment test. You’ve spent hours preparing your resume, practicing for that interview.
Don’t let a simple test take control of your career marketability.
Here’s why personality tests are unreliable:
They only measure different attitudes about things from different people. Your attitude about something in general cannot be used to predict how you’ll react to business situations.
They cannot predict behavior because behavior is context sensitive. People act differently in different situations.
They associate success with different personality types. In fact, personality requirements are different for different jobs.
What you need to do is prepare, and research to be able to understand the psychology behind these tests. Like the rest of the job search process, always do your homework. Research on personality test questions, and in no time you’ll know exactly how to answer the test questions.
