Succeeding in the Interview

Question 1 • Preparing for Colleges and Careers

Which definition best describes a personality test?

Answer
A
an investigation used to screen candidates for a job
B
a conversation between an employer and a candidate
C
a form completed by a candidate to explain their qualifications
D
a tool to evaluate a candidate’s traits and behavioral preferences

Explanation

A personality test is designed to assess a person’s traits, tendencies, and behavioral preferences. Therefore, the best definition is a tool to evaluate a candidate’s traits and behavioral preferences. An interview is a conversation, and an application form describes qualifications, so those choices do not define a personality test.
