What are the advantages of using a personality-oriented selection test, like the ESQ2, over an overt measure?
Most selection tests are overt integrity tests. Respondents are asked about their attitudes towards theft and other counterproductive behaviour s, as well as past transgressions. However, people with low integrity will often “fake”. The ESQ2 is similar to integrity tests, as it measures a respondent’s probability for counterproductive behaviour; however, it differs insofar as it views integrity as one factor amongst many others that can predict an employee’s productivity and dependability.
