Industrial psychologists develop personality tests to help companies select and to manage employees these days. A couple of these that I know of are Myers Briggs Personality and the DISC System. Tests like these determine what kind of personality traits a person has to help them ferret out individuals who are the best match for a job. In addition a lot of these companies use personality assessments to manage employees they already have. Can you make any comments on this subject? Here's a few questions that come to mind.

*what kind of tests do airlines use presently for hiring?
*is there any way to optimize ones performance on these tests?
*what kind of personality actually is the best for airline life?
*do airlines take the results of personality profiles seriously in your experience?
*do you use any of these tests to prepare people coming to you for help?

Thanks so much!
