Personality Testing at Work

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management Intelligence, 2008, pp 150-152 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It has now become a bit of an annual event. Journalists declare open season on management psychologists and newspapers carry a repeat or reheat article on psychometric testing at work. And the best stories are of scandalous incompetence, injustice or greed in which ideal candidates are rejected, test questions exposed as ludicrous and, worse, there is evidence of illegal or immoral discrimination.
