Reflection on "Employers Study Applicants' Personalities

I found this article very interesting. The possibility of personality screening as part of an interview had never occurred to me. However, I think it's a great idea. During my educational career I have been involved in a lot of student organizations. The organizations and project which are most successful and enjoyable have all been ones in which the team I was working with had compatible personalities. I imagine that the same principle holds true for employment. Therefore, while daunting I believe a job interview which includes a personality and computability evaluation will result in the best fit for both the company and employees. The company will be more efficient and successful and the employees and employers will all enjoy their jobs more.
