Personality assessment tests are not only highly underestimated but also unfairly criticized for being ineffective, in reality well designed personality assessments can serve as excellent hiring tools. Scores of recruiters have found that candidates who have not done well in personality usually turn out to be unsatisfactory performers. One of the most frequent gripe against personality assessment tests is that they can be faked very easily. But that’s true only for tests that are lazily designed tests, companies need to use well designed suite of tests tailored for specific job functions which also have built in measures for detecting fakers. Personality tests can also help companies by lowering the number of candidates that are actually interviewed.
