By 2013, 57% of employers say they use some sort of assessment test or personality test in their hiring process. Although these tests are not absolute they can help consolidate the number of applicants during hiring process not only by personalities, but also longevity, temperament, productivity, technical and communication skills. “Tests are a predictor and better than a coin toss, but you have to be realistic about them. There will be false positives, people who get through that shouldn’t, and false negatives, someone who should’ve gotten through that didn’t.” (Weber, 2015). Although the company I worked for when I was in management did not use personality tests during the hiring process, I believe I became pretty intuitive over the years in determining personality traits during the interview process.

Additionally, the Prentice Hall’s Self-Assessment test results mentioned that those who highly value structure, self-respect and security over comfort and creativity resemble those in leadership or managerial positions.

    In preparation for my personal entrepreneurship statement, I evaluated my own personality and characteristics and also had those close to me evaluate my personality through online questionaries and interviews with my parents. The instruments that I used were the Myers-Briggs Indicator and two questionaries from The Authentic Happiness Project at the University of Pennsylvania. These tests were very interesting because I saw a lot of similarities between the results, giving me great insight on my characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. I thought the Myers-Briggs Indicator was definitely the most insightful test because it gave a very in-depth analysis of my personality. While the other two tests did offer some insight into my personality, I felt that the results were not as well explained and extensive as the Myers-Briggs Indicator.…

    So far, I have learned that these personality tests are not to pinpoint our exact behavior or reactions to situations, but rather, they are used as a guide to help us in our organizations.

In my scope of practice, I hope to own and manage a diagnostic center – where I would like to have a team that believe in the company’s goals. To create a more cohesive team and in order to be a perfect fit for the company (and vice versa), this personality test can help with the interview process based on the “Big Five” categories.…
