The Problem with Personality Tests

Research Highlights the Benefits of Predictive Assessments vs Personality Tests

Which one is better leveraged within the hiring process?

Personality tests have been used in the hiring process since the 1950s. However, research as early as the 1960s proved their lack of predictive validity. Personality tests have their value, but they are not ideal for use in hiring.

Predictive hiring assessments, on the other hand, are designed to predict on-the-job behaviors, outcomes, or criteria important to work-related performance.
