Personality-style tests (ipsative assessments like the DISC and Myers-Briggs) measure traits like extroversion, methods of processing information, and how people influence others. There is very little correlation between these tests and subsequent performance. One problem is these tests measure preferences, not competencies. For these reasons, never use personality tests to predict future performance.
