Question

If you were given a personality test as part of an employment application process, would you answer the questions honestly or would you attempt to answer the questions based upon your image of "correct" way to answer? what implications does your response has for the validity of personality testing?

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Personality tests are sold on the promise that they are valid (they measure what they say they will measure) and reliable (they produce consistent results). “Many studies over the years have proven the validity of the MBTI instrument,” says the Myers & Briggs Foundation
• Psychologists seek to measure personality through a number of methods, the most common of which are objective tests and projective measures.
• Objective tests, such as self-report measures, rely on an individual's personal responses and are relatively free of rater bias.

Hope it will help you.

Answer 2

I would answer some questions honestly but if there are some questions which i can't tell the truth i will tell some lies. because if u really like this job and don't want to loose it, it's ok to give wrong answers just for once! That's my opinion. :p. But be careful u might get in trouble if they find out ur lying!
