Be aware that there is an entire industry built around tthe flawed idea that it is possible to predict employee performance on the basis of personality tests - it ain't. For a start, personality is not stable over time (say Two years).
Aptitude testing on the other hand is possible.
For those interested, the entire "personality test" industry was debunked in the 1970's in the United States through a number of very high profile court cases involving discrimination complaints by Black Americans - the companies involved used "Personality Test Results" as their excuse for non promotion. The Corporations lost.
Unfortunately no one told Australia.
Be aware that certain employers are now using sophisticated methods to detect potential workplace psycopaths - which is a very noble aim. I won't explain the technique, but it is effective. My son went through it recently and passed OK - he didn't even know he was being tested for anything until he told me some of the questions they asked.
