- JSeymourATL 11y agoInteresting flashback article from 1998! Here's a more recent podcast on behavioral profiling, Scott Britton with Steve Sisler> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYywbJT5TOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYywbJT5TOU
- itistoday2 11y agoThis is an advertisement for a $50 quiz with 36 multiple choice questions.
- tdicola 11y agoNot only that, the article is almost 20 years old.
- redwood 11y agoFeels like 1960s writing
- sk5t 11y agoI wonder how the effectiveness of this test in the workplace would stack up against the following: * Myers Briggs * Big 5 * Weekly horoscope * Sugar pill * Japanese radio calisthenics
- pinewurst 11y agoI was surprised recently when a job application resulted in a request/demand for me to take personality tests. In a long career, this was the first time* I've seen it. Which of course was grounds for immediately disconnecting myself from further discussion with this company. *Though I've seen weird stuff with a company having a psychologist on the payroll that one had to "see".
- hliyan 11y agoI was expecting yet another Myers-Briggs, but I found the actual test (36 questions, each with 4 aspects and least/most options) interesting. I don't know how effective it'll be at gauging employees, but I think it does a good job of minimizing opportunities for 'gaming' the test. Almost all the options are fairly neutral. I took the test, but sadly, I'm not willing to pay that $50 to see the results!
