Explain the fairness of using personality tests for selection of new employees.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies, but may include employees may fake answers on personality test to fit in
with what they think the employer might want for the position. Personality tests are not
always the best fit for selection purposes (e.g., MBTI). Just because a personality has
shown a relationship with job types does not mean that other personalities
characteristics can override the deficient trait (e.g., introverts may still be good sales
people if highly conscientious, agreeable, and open to new ideas). There is no one-size-
fits-all personality for job types.
