SHOULD THE MANAGER CONSIDER THE PERSONALITY TEST SCORE BEFORE HIRING NEW WORKERS????



Nowadays, many organizations want to compete with others as they leading towards the future. Instead of this, they want to have and get the best staffs and workers be hired in the organization. The top roles for examples the manager should play their important roles in hiring these best candidates. Then, the manager should use and consider the personality test score before hiring the new workers. In Organizational Behavior, we have learnt The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator for example. Through this test, the manager will know what types of workers they are. This will make the manager and the interviewer choose the best candidate easily during the interview session. This test is being conducted by giving for example 50 questions to the candidates that the person how they usually feel in any particular situations.
There are 4 types of Myer-Briggs Type Indicator. It is extrovert versus introvert, sensing versus intuitive, thinking versus feeling, judging versus perceiving. For example the extrovert versus introvert. The extrovert people are outgoing, sociable and assertive. Introvert individual are quite and shy. Sensing versus intuitive. Sensing person is sensitive type, they are practical, prefer routine and order. While intuitive person rely on unconsciousness.
Moreover, the manager may also use The Big 5 Dimensions too. It is extraversion, this dimension capture one’s comfort with relationships. Agreeableness, individual propensity t defer to other. Conscientiousness, measure of reliability. Openness to experience or inquisitiveness, address one’s range of interest and fascination with novelty. Emotional stability, taps a person’s ability to withstand stress.
While interview, the manager can detect the personality of the interviewee. Instead of this, they can know what is the suitable position may be given to the new workers from the analysis during the interview session. Manager can select the right candidates to fill in the vacancy. For example in the extraversion dimension, are the worker comfortable talking with others and are assertive, talkative, gregarious and open to establishing new interpersonal relationship.

With the personality test score, the manager can control and manage the workers as they know about the personality of workers with those tests. The manager can handle the problem easily with the workers in a short period to avoid any disputes.
