My current company gives out
personality tests
as part of their employee screening.
I failed mine.
It was determined
that I had the absolute wrong personality
to do my job.
I don’t like personality tests.
I don’t think your natural personality
has anything to do
with how well
you do your job.
My natural personality is quiet and shy.
My current job requires me
to be a cheerleader
so I’m outgoing and loud.
What I DO like is
creativity and problem solving tests.
Amy’s Ice Creams
has a brilliant creativity test.
She gives prospective employees
paper bags
and asks them to do something creative
with them.
If you want a skill,
test for that skill,
not personality.
