Science series blog: The truth about fake answers

When candidates take a self-report assessment, also known as a preference test, they often want to present themselves in the best possible light. This natural tendency – which is known as socially desirable responding – occurs in many aspects of the hiring process, from resumes to interviews.  Sometimes, it’s unintentional, simply reflecting how candidates see themselves or what they believe are positive traits. Other times, it’s more deliberate. This is what we refer to as faking. Faking occurs

The truth about faking on self-report tests

Introducing our new Abstract Reasoning test. Designed to identify candidates who can recognize patterns, solve problems, and make logical decisions on the fly, this test helps you future-proof your workforce by identifying agile learners and innovative thinkers.
