They’re objective, convenient and strong indicators of job performance, making them very popular with large graduate recruiters. Read more at:

Personality Tests 

The following test is based on the work of psychologist Carl Jung and subsequent research of Myers-Briggs. At the heart of this theory is the view that our behavior is not unique and random but rather adheres to certain models and preferences. The result of this research is 16 distinct personality types which are a result of the different interactions between the four principle psychological functions.
