Increased usage among corporations could have significant implications for the Gen Y part of the workforce because Millennials are constantly looking for ways to learn about themselves and find areas for improvement. Psychological tests can provide these young workers with relatively inexpensive insights into the personalities and passions of the younger workforce, providing a foundation for young workers to discuss the results among themselves and their bosses.<br /><br />Also I wanted to recommend a Business Week article on IBM about how they are using various metrics including psychological tests to predict how productive their workers will be. I think it raises some interesting questions regarding how much humans can be quantified, and if every aspect of their lives should be.

You can argue about who's right and who's wrong with regard to facts -- but you can only disagree on opinions. <br /><br />@George - That's quite the compliment, thanks! <br /><br />@HumanResourcesPufnstuf - My answer is actually pretty simple; yes I genuinely believe it would. The reason why is more complex - because it depends. <br /><br />@HR Good_Witch - Thanks for reading and leaving your thoughts. Hopefully subsequent posts will win you over ;) ... feel free voice your point of contention - I'm sure we can all learn from it in some way or another! @Paul – One of the most helpful things I’ve learned so far is the distinction between facts and opinions in reasoned judgments.
