Test Drive
Academics could be subjected to controversial ‘personality testing’ before being approved for jobs or promotions as managers continue to examine corporate style human resource management.
Experts predicted that the tests, which seek to establish personality types and to predict how the staff might behave in certain work scenarios, would be increasingly used for development and even recruitment as academic jobs become more complex.
Anglia Ruskin University confirmed this week that it was conducting pilots for a psychometric test as part of a programme of staff career development.
John Rust, director, psychometrics center at Cambridge University said that these tests could be used to check for initiative, team working and social skills, the qualities stereotypically lacking in some otherwise brilliant focused academics.
