On Personality Tests

Ever applied for a job and had them ask you to take a “personality test”? I find these tests fascinating, and wonder if the personality traits that they ascribe to people, based on their answers to some questions, maintain throughout the years, or change. They say that IQ is fairly static throughout one’s lifetime. Are personality traits the same? Reading through these tests that I took years ago for a job selling home remodeling services, I doubt it. That said, some of it is actually very fitting, and I remember being surprised with the level of accuracy at the time! That said, it seems like some answers are going to end up being at least slightly biased when you take a test like that for a job. Maybe I’ll take another one that doesn’t have a “point” like getting a job behind it, to see if it turns out different and post that one.
