Correct Answer: Identification of job-related traits


Solution : The correct answer is (d) Identification of job-related traits

Personality tests are designed to assess the individual's personality traits, characteristics, and behavioral tendencies. By administering personality tests during the selection process, employers can gain insights into how candidates are likely to behave and perform in certain job-related situations. The results of personality tests can provide valuable information about candidates' compatibility with the job requirements, team dynamics, and organizational culture.

Identifying job-related traits through personality tests can be valuable in determining candidates' suitability for specific roles. The insights gained from personality assessments can help employers make more informed decisions during the selection process and improve the alignment between candidates' traits and the requirements of the job and work environment. It is important, however, to use personality tests as part of a comprehensive selection process, considering multiple factors and assessment methods to ensure a holistic evaluation of candidates.
