Indeed, a significant percentage of surveyed organizations, according to recent research, have been confirmed to be either using or considering the use personality tests for executive selection as well as development. Suitable validated personality tests remain to be attractive tools of selection since they aid in providing a data-based and non-subjective method that is used in the identification of high-potential workers who are capable of adapting a certain work environment.
