Comparing
the usefulness of conventional and recent
personality assessment tools; playing the
right music with the wrong instrument? |
| Abstract
|
This conceptual
paper explores different personality assessment
tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory(MBTI) tool
and the Five-Factor Model and compares them
with a relatively new instrument called PerformanSe.
We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of
each of these instruments commonly used for
personality assessment. If understanding and
predicting behaviours of people is important
to academicians and practitioners alike, it
is equally important that they understand
the strengths and weaknesses of the different
personality assessment tools available to
them. Understanding the limitations of the
tools available
curbs their perfectionist impulse and encourages
them to treat these tools with a critical
eye. This understanding will not only prevent
practitioners from taking wrong decisions
in recruiting or promoting employees, but
will also save them from legal disputes. |
