How to Make a Good Impression with Your Personality Test Score

No matter how good your sales number are, no matter how many great deals you foster, if you don't get along with your boss and your coworkers, you won't last long at your place of employment. To curb the high cost of employee turnover that's incurred when a hire is made that doesn't fit the "company culture," many hiring managers are administering personality tests during the job interview.

Before your next interview, it's a good idea to try out a few free tests on the web, so you'll have an idea of the types of questions that will be asked and what your answers will reveal about you. For example, if you take three or four tests and the results consistently say that you don't work well in groups, you can do one of two things:
1) Don't apply to positions that stress group work as a key job requirement.
2) Learn how to identify the test questions that determined that particular outcome so you can modify your answers when and where they count.

There are tons of personality tests on the web, but the "Psyhchometric Advantage" is my favorite because it tells the job seeker how a hiring manager could potentially read into your answers.

The free report also gives you a brief description of your personality type, how to highlight your personality strengths in an interview, an example of a question that might trip you up, and the type of work environment you would most likely be a good fit with.
