Relying on a personality test to guide your hiring, performance analysis and training initiatives is much like relying on a road map to guide your vacation choices. It's helpful, but terribly incomplete information. Without weather forecasts, resort reviews, activity guides and price data, a long-wished-for pampering rest and relaxation trip could end up at a wilderness boot camp.
In much the same way, well-constructed sales assessments can provide the critical information woefully left out by the simple personality tests so often touted by consultants as the golden keys to great sales recruitment, results and retention.
Personality tests measure just one thing: Personality. Personality is also referred to as "behavior style" or "personality type". Personality tests can be helpful in identifying "how" a salesperson sells. It measures their style. Is the salesperson high-energy or low-energy? Are they more formal or informal? Are they aggressive or are they passive? Are they an introvert or an extrovert? These questions can be answered with a personality test.
No. Personality tests do not provide sufficient measurements or insights to give you an accurate understanding of the candidate and to help you make a sound hiring or developmental decision. Again, measuring “how” a person sells is good information. But it is incomplete, and in today’s competitive market where the best candidates for sales positions are aggressively pursued, using the best tool for hiring and training is not a nice-to-have, but a must-have.
