Today we are discussing our thoughts on the use of personality tests, especially when it comes to the hiring process and the general use of them in the workplace.

During the episode we talk about the limitations and flaws of personality testing, how they oversimplify complex human behavior, and how they lack reliability. We also discuss the importance of contextual factors and individual differences, and how these tests should be used cautiously and not as a sole determinant for hiring or for personal development decisions.

Please don’t forget to follow us on social media, you can find the links in the episode details and if you enjoyed the podcast, please share it with your friends. Thanks for tuning in and we hope you enjoy the show!
