Do you think personality test should be eliminate for getting a job?

Question

Giving you the personality test is the stupidest thing employers can do since test cannot measure the employees potentials.

What do you think?

Answer 1

I agree. Its severely hindering me from getting me a job, I've passes pretty much everyone I took, but the one's at cellular phone places are crazy...

Answer 2

As an employer, I find these tests to be invaluable. It informs me of several points of the potential new hire. But the main one is how well will you work with others, the public, or your co-workers. It is not designed to measure potential, it is designed for your ability to be able to work with the public and co-workers. As far as potential ability I give a separate test for that, an abilities test, it only measures what you know and do not know, but is not a game over test. you pass the personality test and are so-so on the abilities test we may be able to work together. You all have to understand that with today's economy that it takes at least $10,000 to properly train an individual to do the job that they are so well "qualified".  For, so as an employer, we have to make a great investment in you to help you perform your job well, and be an asset for the company. Good luck in your job search, I wish you well.
