Personality Assessment in Organizations

By: H. John Bernardin

Surveys indicate that over 50% of all hiring and promotion decisions in industry involve an assessment of a candidate's personality. This is the first volume to bring together and integrate the vast research literature on the use of personality measurement. Included in the work are important contributions from the foremost researchers and theoreticians on the subject. Influenced by the conclusions of the National Academy of Sciences study on the usefulness of cognitive ability tests in industry, the essays reflect the switch in emphasis from the can do of prediction to the will do as measured by personality, interest, and motivational variables.
