PERSONALITY TEST??? SHOULD OR NOT???

Hello guys..

When people talk about personality, these will definitely relate with the people performance… do you know you own personality?? And did you know what it means?? We like to share to you about it. Personality refers to the relatively stable pattern of behavior and consistent internal states that explain a person’s behavioral tendencies. Personality also can be defined as a sum total of ways in which an individual react and interacts with others.

Question here is the issue about it is the manager should consider or care about personality test before they hiring a new worker?? It is important to conduct this test and what is the purpose to conduct the test. When we look into our country condition now, many of graduate do not have a job, it is because of the high competition to get the job. Thus, most of the manager difficult and undecided to choose right candidate to fill the vacancy. Ideally the answer is, yes! The manager should consider the personality test score before hiring a new worker.

Personality test is test that measure and analyze about somebody personality. Many a job specification will call for a person with certain personality characteristics such as friendly or sociable and cooperative or able to work in team. The questions thus arise. How do you know whether the applicant have these traits. Evident gained through interview may be highly by the applicant perception of his own ability. Usually personality test consist of question which candidates have to answer it and the interviewer will evaluate them according to the answer that given and evaluation also can be determine by the body language, the way he or she talk and body posture when answer the question.

We think that manager should consider this test because it will make the manager know about their worker. It is the person able to carrying a task and responsibilities or not, whether the person can have a good relation in organization can perform the organization standard or not.

For example, when we look into the ‘Big 5’ dimension, emotional stability, that dimension is important to know the ability of the new worker withstand stress. Others, if you rating yourself, you are encouraged to rate another person. By rating someone else, you will tend to receive more accurate of your personality. By the result, you can compare yourself with other people. Huh…. Tired to explain huhuhu. Did you get did?? It is our opinion is same??
