'Psych tests are one of the most effective ways of drawing a picture of a candidate's persona..'

What i don't understand is that the Psych test seems to be set up to test the traits that are a constant in a person's make up. This being the case,
why does a psych test have a shelf life at Qantas of 2 years before you are told to cough up $ to re-sit it? If the theory is based on exposing the type of person you really are, such traits never change do they? If they can be argued to be changeable over time then why test at all if at time of recruitment you profile ok but within a year you become an axxxhole?
