[QUOTE="DT89, post: 94158, member: 1245"] I just completed Gowling WLG's behavioural assessment which also included an aptitude test. I have mixed feelings about it. The assessment was a set of computer games and at the end of which I got the report. I am having second thoughts about whether I would progress to the next round because the report says, I am impulsive and make decisions by gut feeling rather than rational deliberation. It also states that I am passive and I do not prefer to work alone as opposed to being a collaborative team player. As someone who has studied psychology at the university, there is plenty of evidence to show that these personality tests are not reliable. The test provider asserted at the end of the test that the results were reliable as they were based on large data sets etc. My question is, how fair is it to use these personality or behavioural tests in screening candidates? You cannot gauge a candidate's fit to the firm atleast until they reach assessment centre or the interview stage in my opinion. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
