Personality Screening

Editor's Notes

  1. I chose the title “personality screening” because now a lot of HR departments are requiring new hires to complete a test that will determine if the personality of the applicant is in keeping with the employment environment. These test are supposed to determine if the personality of the applicant is stable and congruent with the personality deemed appropriate for success in a specific career.
  2. This question has plagued H/R administrators and now I/O psychologists all the time. No one wants to spend a lot of time trying to screen out unqualified applicants, but on the same hand, no one wants to miss out on the opportunity to employ potentially highly successful employees. In depth analysis and screening is a solution, but the costs associated with that process are extensive and therefore not feasible. Technology has introduced a time saving alternative, with no bias. But the question is if this streamlined process is eliminating the right people also.
  3. Some of the technology based tests are based on personality tests like the Big Five and tests from Maslow and Jung. For the purposes of this study I chose to only use information from citations that were general and not industry specific. The idea was to try to address a greater number of instances where the testing could be used. While there was some research strongly in support of technoloogical screening and it was reviewed there was also plenty of research that advocated the continual use of interviews in conjunction with the screening.
  4. Biased screening became more and more of a concern as our society grew more litigious. Company’s could not afford fiscally or image wise to be suided because of a perception that they had unfair hiring practices.
  5. This was a major issue for small companies because they had a need to get as much out of their significant investment as possible and not using the recommendations of the test was a major financial waste. While research does indicate that there is a need for minimal unfair bias, it also indicates that the human factor can make a difference in the capabilities of an individual to fit in a work environment.
  6. While it is true that companies are encouraged to and seek to be technologically advanced the big problem for a lot of the small to middle size companies is the costs of the technology. The problem for the largest companies is the cost of using the technology and the waste if they are not hiring a large number of employees. People generally feel that they can influence a one –on-one interview more than n electronic evaluation.
  7. If you take enough personality tests you will soon see a pattern, recognizing the pattern may cause to you to develop a better skill at giving the “right” answers.
  8. The greatest frustration with these test is when the options that they offer for choosing answers are inconsistent with realistic responses to questions. Testers are in a position where they have to choose the lessor of two evils sometimes and making those choices can be frustrating.
  9. This plan while effective is more time consuming and labor intensive. If there are a number of well qualified candidates then the time it takes to apply all of these techniques to v=every candidate might be extremely expensive. It is important to carefully choose the candidates to place in this procedure.
  10. Personally this researcher has taken many personality tests and has experienced the frustration inherent in trying to provide an honest answer when the answer to a question is not listed as an option. In those cases the answer says something about you that is not true, so your results will be skewed.
