Job Personality Tests Defeated by Facebook

by CathyG on January 7, 2009

Today’s Wall Street Journal carries a story about applicants who subvert personality tests. They search online and find the answer keys. They hire others to take tests for them.

Frankly, I applaud these efforts. But there’s little correlation between tests and career success. I wrote an article on this topic: How Career Change Really Happens.

Ultimately Facebook and Twitter will accomplish even more than unions: empower employees by sharing information.
