It says that the use of personality tests in employment procedures is a misuse.
- cedilla 4y agoLaymen are mentioned for a reason. In any case, "personality tests" is not the same as psychometrics. Just like astrology being fraudulent doesn't imply astronomy being unscientific, Myers Briggs being bullshit says nothing about the validity of psychometrics. It's astonishing. If this line of reasoning was used against other fields of science, many people here would call it out immediately, but psychology is apparently always fair game. (NB: I don't believe psychometrics are very good indicators in the hiring process.)
