Evaluation of the Personality Test
The questions that you have answered can be used to identify four different kinds of person, which differ greatly from one another with regard to their overall orientation, view of the world, attitude to work, and their own identities. All of these types are of equal weighting, and they are indispensable for companies and society in general.
Very few people can be categorized as belonging to a specific type. In most cases, several types are combined. However, this sort of classification is a useful method for characterizing people.
Many companies use personality tests to find out which area a new employee would be best suited to, taking their skills into consideration.
