Personality Tests - Gold or Corporate Astrology?


Listen Later

Personality tests are common in the workplace. But what are they really measuring?

In this episode, our new Co-host Carolyn Stevens, Director of Talent at Hemmat Law, shares her perspective on tools like Myers Briggs and DiSC and why they may not always be the best filters during the hiring process, especially when candidates admit to shaping their answers.

We also talk about where these tools can actually help. Once someone is already on your team, personality assessments can make communication clearer, feedback easier, and workplace tension less personal.

Instead of prediction, the focus becomes understanding.

If you are thinking about how to build stronger teams, this episode looks at what personality tests can and cannot realistically do.
