How to use pre employment personality tests for hiring
Focus on measuring stable traits that will not tend to change
Psychometric and experimental studies have identified stable personality traits that relate to the person's predisposition to experience certain emotions. Research has shown that the stability coefficients for the Big Five personality traits range from moderate to high, ranging (0.73 to 0.97 in men and 0.65 to 0.95 in women).
Use personality tests proven to have reliability and validity
Several popular personality tests like the MBTI have not been validated for hiring and selection. Research has found that as many as 50% candidates arrive at a different result if they take the test a second time (only 5 weeks later).
Do not make hiring decisions based solely on personality tests
Personality assessments (whether scientifically backed or not) should not be used as the sole determinant in hiring decisions. Research has shown that multi-measure tests are the most accurate way of assessing candidates. Including personality tests in a well-rounded hiring process (interviews, references and more) can provide valuable insights which can result in a great hire.
