Hi,
Psychological Tests are sensitive and specific to the purpose of assessment. There are norms, reliablilty and validity for every good test. There are many tests available in the market, but I am not sure whether they are psychological!
If you are looking for a test, look for the following:
1. Test- Construction details, norms, reliabilty and validity, scope of application and back ground information.
2. Tester- The level of understanding reqd to use the test. Today many are using these tests because they are armed with "Ctrl C & Ctrl V" technology! The acumen of the user and the professional expertise is very important.
I am sure Over The Counter drugs are good enough for minor pains (not really, of course), but not for major diseases. Same applies to the psychological tests.
By having an access to the stethoscope, one cannot become a doctor, right! So use the right resource for the purpose.
If some one is unhappy about the results of psychological tests, please check with them. Most of the time the users might not had the right expertse.
This is for all those who intend to use psychological tests in HR!!!
Best Wishes,
