Question

1. Which personality assessment would you recommend for use by employers? Choose from the Rorschach Test, the TAT, the MMPI, or the MBTI inventory.

2. Why is the test you chose better than the other tests? Use evidence from the text to show the “problems” with the other personality tests.
 
 
 
 
3. Describe the reliability and validity of the assessment you chose (copy this information from the chart on the bottom of page 5 in the lesson for your assessment).
 
 
 
 
4. Does the reliability and validity of the assessment support the employer’s case or the employee’s case in the commuter rail service article? Explain your reasoning. NOTE: The employers are looking for focused introverts who are good at repetitive tasks and don't become distracted while operating a train.
