Companies large and small use personality trait assessments as tools for screening applicants and for
assessing strengths (and limitations) of employees on the job. If a prospective employer asked you to
take a personality trait assessment, do you think you know your personality well enough that you
would recognize the traits that would emerge?

But what if the results revealed traits that you did not recognize about yourself? Would it be more
likely that the test is inaccurate, or can these assessments reveal personality traits of which an
individual may be unaware?

For this Discussion, you will take two personality trait assessments and, based on the results, explore
some or possibly all of those questions. Keep in mind that the purpose of this Discussion is to
consider the question of test accuracy and the depth of what personality trait assessments can
reveal. You may keep private specific results from your assessment that you prefer not to share with
colleagues.
