They call it the "plays well with others" factor.

After reading the article "Employees Study Applicants Personalities," I almost thought it was a joke. I did not think you could give tests that can discriminate against individuals in the workforce. I feel that the companies that are giving these personality tests are missing out on the ablility that these "bad" people have. Sometimes we have bad days. For example, If I was in a rush heading to my interview and got caught in traffic. It could possiblly affect my personality for that interview but it still does not change my skills that I have. So, I do not believe that these companies should give out personality test because they may miss out on something or someone great!
