Personality testing

Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management and Myths, 2004, pp 112-114 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Almost no job applicant or training course attendee can escape the ubiquitous psychological test. Such tests are supposed to facilitate the decision making of selectors and the self-insight of trainees. There are psychological test junkies who seek out every opportunity to go for yet another test, while there are equally numerous test-phobes who would do a great deal to avoid having to be tested. From a tester’s viewpoint, there are cynics, sceptics, enthusiasts and addicts whose attitudes to, and use of, tests may be polar opposites.
