Where do you tip on this scale, huh? I found this image on the net, and my being a non-supporter of various psychological tests that categorize and compartmentalize people, I am sharing this with you. Depending on how you answer psych tests, you come across as for example: too aggressive or not aggressive enough, or too much of a risk taker or risk devoid. Point being, such tests provide inflexibility. The bad news - some companies still live in the dark ages and make such tests mandatory for potential employees. They will not even meet with nor speak with the candidate until the psych test has been cleared. As social beings we tend to present ourselves differently in-person, so the candidate you evaluated on paper might not be the one sitting in front of you. Dozens of barriers are instantly broken down the minute people interact face to face. I think companies should get rid of the psych tests and look at the Big Picture. Instead of predicting my potential over a multiple choice exam, predict it over cup of coffee! Give it a try...
