Would You Accept a Job if an IQ and Personality Test Were Part of the Interview Process?


this is a terrific post that i found on a website that has interesting content-


Some companies are requiring job applicants to take personality and intelligence tests as part of the interview.  I had to take a test as a pre-requisite to employment.  I passed the test and was given the job.  However, the results of the test were not revealed to me.  I wonder just how many companies are requiring their job applicants to take these types of tests.

For some people, having to take a personality test or an intelligence test might seem like an invasion of privacy or a violation of civil rights.  However, what can these people do if they are facing another month of unpaid rent and utility bills?

A problem is, how is the test information being kept, is it being sold to companies that do research and marketing in the areas of personality research and intelligence?  I do know that call centers that take customer satisfaction surveys of people over the phone are paid several hundred dollars for each completed survey. How much would a personality and intelligence test result be worth a company that is in that sort of business?
