    About this audiobook

    Should your company use personality tests? Which ones are helpful and which ones should be avoided? And just what traits can personality tests detect? Brain Rules author Dr. John Medina answers these and other questions in this audiobook companion to his newest book, Brain Rules for Work, called Personality. In this chapter, John explores some of the history of personality tests and examines what role these tests should play in hiring practices. Whether you’re a manager looking to incorporate personality tests into your hiring program or an employee interested in the science (or lack thereof) behind many of the most popular tests, Personality is an entertaining and informative read.
