Comment on “Passing” the Personality Test by Nicholas

I agree with both of you I have failed 5 of these personality tests already. The original poster is as you two stated obviously not struggling looking for a job. There are defiantly right and wrong answers for these tests. I graduated with a 4.0 from college and have had perfect attendance awards for almost every job I have ever had. I have also always got along with everyone at work often one of the favorites at every job I have held. However, I fail these tests if I fill them out honestly as they suggest. I fail them if I try to put what I think they want I fail them. Not just the MTBI tests I fail them all.

One test actually asked me “what would you prefer compiling data or hanging out with friends” well duh who enjoys compiling data. However, I always do the things I do not like doing first, but there is no room for comments in those tests. It’s called work almost everyone has to complete tasks they do not want to do.

Christina. For my most recent 360-feedback, I used DiSCs 363. I love it. It was right on addressing behavioral challenges!!

What 360 tool did you use? I’m interested in the DiSC 363 and have heard that DiSC has a new leadership profile but haven’t tried it yet.

I have experienced an increase in the “sales funnel” over the last six months!

A common theme bringing potential clients to my door seems to be individuals who are technically proficient at their organization, yet are less proficient in areas of emotional intelligence, relationship building, and reputation.

While not new to coaches, it seems these areas are drawing more and more attention in corporate environments as time passes.

Yes. I have seen a great increase in request for proposals and follow through. What I find most interesting is that the last few request that I have gotten have been for remedial performance improvement. Though, initial, request were for leadership development. After conducting 360-degree feedback, the clients realized that while they thought that had “gold” level performers, they in fact had “bronze.”

I agree with Jaye, I was also turned down for a job which I could probably have done with eyes closed as I had proved myself in a similar department before, but the test I undertook indicated that I did not fit the profile. Instead the company chose someone that fitted the profile and now 6 months down the line I find out that they are dissatisfied and have stated that they have placed the wrong person. I believe these tests are subjective and sadly many employers are using them as a be all and end all for placements..
