Personality and Psychometric Tests
Psychometric testing has become widely accepted as a benchmarking tool to judge people's suitability for a job. It's easy to understand why: people don't behave naturally at interviews - after all, it's hardly a natural situation. This means that without a measurable assessment tests system employers are in danger of selecting people who are good at interviews, but not necessarily good at doing the job.
So is psychometric testing an infallible way of probing a candidate's true personality? It's easy to think so, but in fact it's by no means impossible to fool a test and so manipulate the results. But you do so at your peril. Distorting your apparent test results and thereby personality in order to get a job is almost certain to cause you problems later. Do you really want to be in a job that doesn't suit you?
Used properly, psychometric testing is good for employers and candidates. Honest answers to the questions on behalf of the candidate, coupled to intelligent interpretation of the tests answers by the employer, can produce a perfect employee/job match, which ultimately is in everyone's interest.
