True or False: These Tests Can Tell if You Are Right for This Job 职业性格测试 你了解几分？ An applicant's handshake may be crucial at a job interview. But a personality test can tell a company what's behind that handshake. 在求职面试中，应聘者在握手时的表现或许至关重要。不过，能让企业了解到握手背后的真实情况的则是性格测试。 Companies as varied as electronics retailer HHGregg Inc., rental-car agency Avis Budget Group Inc. and Sprint Nextel Corp. all use personality tests to help assess job applicants for conscientiousness, extroversion or other traits that may be useful in forging a successful career伟or, alternatively, derail one. 电子产品零售商HHGregg、汽车租赁企业Avis Budget Group集团以及通信公司Sprint Nextel等各类企业都在采用性格测试来考察求职者的责任心、外向性格以及其他可能有助于造就成功职业生涯（亦或毁掉职业生涯）的性格特征。 The questions are rarely straightforward, and neither are the answers. Psychology is involved, after all. Applicants may try to give answers they think the company wants to hear, and aren't likely to admit to character flaws or bad behavior. So there can be a great deal of opacity regarding what the questions are even measuring, psychologists say. 此类测试题极少直截了当，其答案也是如此，毕竟其中涉及到了心理学。应聘者可能会试图给出他们认为企业想听到的回答，不大可能会承认自己的性格缺陷或不良行为。许多心理学家认为，其后果是此类测试题所测试到的东西还非常不明确。 |
