how accurate is personality profiling?

Definately not. In the five years i work for this company they gave me 8 assesments and for the life of me, they just cannot get my personality. How funny is that? Maybe i am not human. TATA.

I had always wondered if that kind of stuff is really accurate. I have never done one myself nor have I known anyone else who has done it so I can not really say how accurate it is. But I would just love to have one to see what it is like and how correct or incorrect it can be. $-MrDollars-$

Those personality tests helps employers to put you in a certain statistical group. Doesn't mean it's completely 100% accurate down to what you're tinking at every moment of the day. I've studied forensic psychology in college & that's what profiling is. Statistics & likelyhood. Majority doesn't mean 100% accurate but from employer's stand point of view, it increases their likelyhood of hiring employees they're looking for.

I think I'm interested to try that if someone offers to profile me. Maybe they're not exactly 100 percent accurate, but at some level yeah I believe so, I believe it is accurate enough to believe in what it says. I wonder what results I will get

If the answers are done honestly then yes, personality profiling can tell a company alot about their employees. This does not mean this is how you see yourself, simply how you fit into the group as a whole (ie are you a leader or follower, a person that thinks outside of the box or needs structure) as related to the group. The problem inlies when someone tries to "trick" the test to make themselves appear in a certain light. This skews the activity and often gives some crazy combinations of things.
