Are Workplace Tests Worth Taking? [Archive.org URL]

Are companies getting their money’s worth by psychological testing of workers? More to the point, is there any real evidence that years of testing have produced more honesty among employees, identified more leaders, or eliminated more crazies – or is testing merely another management hallucination brought on by breathing copier toner fumes?

Some quick answers: While testing is better than not testing, there are many more bad tests than good ones; picking the good ones requires care, and no single test will tell you all you need to know. As a result, few companies do it right, and thus few realize more than a fraction of testing’s potential value.

Are you doing it right? Probably not.
