The Barnum Effect in Recruitment with Marcia Goddard: Why your candidates' personality test results do not specifically reflect them
Manage episode 352327027 series 3436385
What if the results on your candidates’ MBTI or 16 Personalities test specifically reflect their personality? Or maybe it’s just the Barnum Effect? In this episode, Charlotte talks to neuroscientist Marcia Goddard, about a bias that makes us interpret general personality statements as specifically applicable to the test-taker. How does this affect pre-employment tests? They also cover why personality tests are not intended for candidate selection, how behaviour assessments are different, and what the confirmation bias and the framing effect have to do with all of it. And how can you minimise the Barnum effect? Marcia Goddard and Charlotte Melkert share some tips!
