Great thread. Lori, these tests are not really rocket science...If you are going for a sales job, the correct answer is easy to find. If you are going for a more analytical job, those answers are easy to find as well. It seems to me that these tests can be manipulated by anyone that has taken more than one and has recieved the results. That said (and do not hate me for this)...do you know what an airline is looking for? If I answered as a gung-ho, type-a personality (sales type profile), an airline may think me too aggresive and not a good "team player". If I answer in completely analytical ways, the airline may think me a mere technician without leadership skills to one day be a Captain. My question is, do airlines place more positive weight on one personality trait than another...and if so, what do they value most.
Thank you - and I agree with you. I think these tests give a glimpse of a personality but do not tell the entire story. Also, they can be manipulated in my opinion.
