Two (sort of) unrelated observations:
Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman, has talked a lot over the years about how important he thinks it is for young people to try to become really well rounded with a broad range of interests and experiences. He's talked about how it makes them more interesting and dynamic individuals which leads to higher success in business and with all interpersonal relationships, generally.
Wells Fargo (circa late in the housing boom 2005-07, etc) used to use a personality test developed by Gallup. I heard from more than one higher-level manager that it basically selected for the exact kind of traits that would eventually lead to a sales culture where thousands and thousands of employees were committing fraud.
Goldman needs to be careful what they select for.
- Sleeep 9y agoIs the Gallup test proprietary or is there some info on the types of questions asked?
- pbh101 9y agoMy guess is that the test referred to is the 'StrengthsFinder' which you need to buy, but can take online [1]. Probably more info available by Googling that term. What frequently happens is companies buy this and then Gallup consults with the company to design a behavior profile which the company thinks reflects successful traits in their environment.
