Any place that does a personality test is a place that has poor hiring practices. They are worthless and are easily gamed. I will have an idea of what they are looking for and will get that result.
It's amazing anyone uses them in the hiring process.
- Tycho 8y agoWhat is their real purpose is to filter out candidates who are not agreeable enough to just shut up and take the test?
- SmirkingRevenge 8y agoNot necessarily. Myers-Brigg's has done a great job of convincing corporate America that their test results mean something (and any personality test you may be given by your employer is probably Myers-Brigg's or some close facsimile thereof). They are barely-better-than-horoscopes-junk-science... but people genuinely believe in the stuff.
- paulie_a 8y agoMore of a side note, but I've noticed a very recent trend on a dating app of profiles including their Meyers-brigg info. Meyers Briggs is complete trash, I could easily get any result I wanted to. And at the end of the day it doesn't give any useful insight.
- paulie_a 8y agoThen that company has an incredibly broken interview process and is going to miss out on quality talent. And if that is a filtering tactic it's probably a shitty company to work for.
