Gamification of personality tests for recruitment

Abstract

Personality tests are widely used by organizations to recruit employees for different job positions. Candidates attempting a traditional personality test with a known questionnaire have an advantage to meet the employer requirements which can be misleading and it can mask the true personality of the prospective employee. The paper outlines the meaning of traditional personality tests and the concept of gamification. This paper analyses the use of gamified personality tests for recruiting employees by using different game types for detecting personalities.
