There's been guys that took it an unsat'd, then got it a year later and answered the SAME and got through it.
A candidate to take and pass the HPI one day, then in a fantasy land take the test at a later date after the boundaries/parameters have been changed and NOT Be successful.
And? Every employer who uses standardized personality tests does so in order to hire a certain personality type. Hogan, MMPI, any of the other inventory tests....none of them are static. This is not news.
Inventories are simply tools that organizational psychologists can use to "tune" a workgroup, and yes, it IS a moving target.
So your point?
