Personality Testing:

• Anyone who has eyes knows that there are different personalities
• You are dealing with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore
• We live in a technocratic age. We think we can reduce things to numbers
• Faith in numbers, transfers to the corporate world
• We think that we can actually put a number on people down to the exact degree
• Our faith in numbers is driving our faith in personality tests
