Many people use personality tests during recruitment and interview processes to find out if a candidate’s personality will suit the specific role they are applying for. The MBTI (Myers Briggs type indicator) is the world’s most widely used and accepted personality tool used for assessing someone’s personality type. Many people when applying for jobs try to change their personality to suit the person specification of the job. This is common for sales role where people may think the interviewers are looking for someone loud and very assertive so people try to act like this during the interview. An MBTI test is designed to find out your true personality and uncover anyone trying to put on a different personality type.
The MBTI is used for other things as well as in interview stages. It is commonly used to help improve team work, communication and reduce conflict in the workplace. People who are very different personality types may not work well together and this is when conflict arises. The MBTI can help spot where potential conflicts could arise and prevent them for happening by changing teams around so personalities are more evenly matched. The MBTI can be carried out online at a participant’s convenience. Many people enjoy taking this as they want to know what the results are for them and what is said about their personality type. The MBTI can be used to spot areas of your personality that you may want to develop such as confidence or tone down areas that seem to be over prevalent such as aggression or arrogance.
Many workplaces are also keen for staff and managers to attend a stress management course so they know how to cope with stress if it arises. There are two common stress management course options. The first is coping with and managing stress for people who are suffering from or are likely to suffer from stress and need to know how to manage it.
