PERSONALITY TRAITS

Like many of my peers, I did enjoy with the Diagnostic test. It was fun sitting in class, figuring out which word best describes you. You have to take a very objective look at yourself and them be honest as to which response best suits you. The problem is, that it was too open ended. I may agree with my word or personality choices in one avenue, but then completely disagree if the situation or context changes. The test was both specific and ambiguous at the same time. It also has the potential to pigeon-whole people. If businesses make employees take this test, they may ignore some employees based off of their answers while embracing others. There is a lot to be said of a person on how they actually perform at work. Not test can tell you if that person will ultimately be successful or creative. The test may give you some indicators, but not definite answers.
