What role does personality play in the occupational aptitude testing?
Based on several thousand individual studies it can be said with certainty today that personality is of crucial importance for the handling of occupational requirements. This can be illustrated well with an example: a product that requires explanation will most likely be represented well by an engineer with solid expertise, since he can answer technical questions in great detail. In order to sell the product successfully however, he should also have a personal disposition with an inclination to walk up to potential customers which makes it possible for him to anticipate the wishes and needs of others and allows him to skillfully argue if necessary.
