Diffrent ideas from FULLSTOP Group 5!!

Do you know what personality test score is? It is used to describe an aspect of a person's character and appearance behavior, thoughts, and feelings.

“Do you
sometimes feel your life is boring? Do you feel uneasy outdoors? Do you think
questions like these tell us anything meaningful about ourselves, do you take your bath before you come to this interview? ahaks”

These are some question that might be asked in the test. How do you answer that question will determine your personality. So, should the manager consider the personality test score before hiring new workers? Some say yes and some say no.

Should, because it save the recruitment cost and time in the organization.

Manager should use personality test to select the suitable/talented candidate. The more information they get during the test, the more efficient and accurate a candidate can be hired. So when they success hired efficient candidate, the candidate will perform effectively and as the result, the manager don’t need to hire more workers and at the same time can save their cost and time as well as can reduce the labor turnover rate.
For example, there is a vacant for PRO post in Company Gamat Letih. In order to find the qualified worker, the company has to conduct personality test. The company need a person who has extravert personality and
his / her position in the company is based on their score. If the company select the suitable candidate to fill that vacant post, they no need to recruit new worker again as the recruitment involve more cost and time.


Siti kamariah says :

Should, to look whether the personality of the employees is suitable with the nature of job or not.

Actually personality reflects our behavior and characteristics. Through the personality test, we can measure the level of tendency of the performance and individual character. As an example there is the vacancy of marketing executive in the company. The company needs an extroversion personality to influence and attract the people because the people with extroversion have their own style to fulfill the requirement and dealing with the people because of their nature character likes attractive, friendly, and aggressively. If the person apply the job is the person who have introversion personality, their personality is not suitable. When the test are done, we can conclude even the person is suitable with the job or not.

Nor Hafizah says :

should, because to avoid from discrimination of hiring worker.

The employer must fair in term of hiring the workers without discrimination. They must look of their personality test and from the test they can see the candidate’s characteristic to match with the job offers. The example of discrimination done by the employer is like most of them choose beautiful women rather than man, do not give a chance to abnormal person rather than normal person. These action must be change and all of people must gives equal chance because from the good personality like talkative, motivated, the employees will give good performance rather than the person who is bad in personalities but only know to ingratiate the top management.

Ain says :

Manager shouldn’t consider the personality test because it's not really shows the personality and character of the person.

Sometimes people do not really honest about their personality while answering the question. They can bluff to give the information about themselves when they think the answer is unsatisfied and when it shows a bad result about them. So, when this thing happen, the personality test not really efficient and cannot be the basis in order to hire workers. If the employer still looking at the personality test, they will get ineffective employee because the personality test score acquired by the candidate is good, but in reality is not good. The ability and the performance test not balance and match. It is because they are lying when answering the question.


Anis says :

shouldnt, because it lack of diversity if all selected applicants have same personality traits

If the company select the new workers with similar personality, the company will face a problem, why?
It is because as we know...similar personality will have a similar opinion or idea.So when they contribute their idea, they will only give the similar idea . So, lacks variety of ideas.
For example
Company WWF run the advertising company. They need to produce at least 5 new advertisements every 3 months. At the marketing department, they have 10 workers. Their job is to create a new advertisement according to the company rules. So, if all the workers have the similar idea, the idea would not be creative anymore. And as the result, their client will become bored and maybe they will find other company. So this wills effect the company.
