- Did you try too hard to make a good impression?

Alert - an attempt to create an exaggerated impression - The main obstacle in personality tests We have detected an attempt to make an exaggerated impression in your test. You need to open your eyes to the most common trap in personality tests. Most personality tests have scales that measure the extent to which you were trying to make an exaggerated good impression. Obviously, when applying for a job, you want to make a good impression and this is fine. However, the items that measure 'Impression Management' examine how far you are willing go to make that impression. Their aim is to measure your honesty. For example, answering 'True' to a question " I never told a lie" or answering 'Never' to a question "Occasionally I am in a bad mood" shows the recruiters that you try too hard to make a good impression. An exaggerated impression can affect the evaluation of your personlaity test and might result in the rejection of your application. Below you'll find typical impression management questions. If your score on the impression management scale is above 5 you need to pay close attention here.

I'm always willing to assist people I have said offensive things to people Sometimes I feel like getting back at someone who hurt me I have taken advantage of people I recall times I have been disheartened My looks do not concern me at all I enjoy a good gossip from time to time Sometimes I feel like cursing Sometimes I pretend I am looking to a different direction just to avoid meeting someone Sometimes I find it hard to motivate myself : A. sometimes B. rarely I have never told an intended lie I can recall when I have been mean to someone Occasionally I feel a need to be away from my family: A. sometimes B. rarely Occasionally I am in a bad mood: A. sometimes B. never If I get excess change in a store I always return it I sometimes laugh at a dirty joke

OUR PSYCHOLOGISTS ADVICE: First, try to recognise questions that measure

impression management and then BE HONEST! By being honest, you are likely not to fall at the far end of the scales. Your aim is to score as low as possible on this scale. [-]Please Note: Your responses reveal certain traits that are not desirable in any work environment. Black List We have detected high scores on traits that are not favourable in a work environment; these traits are grouped together and form a list which we refer to as the - "black list". The "Black List traits are traits that are considered undesirable in any employment environment. (see list below). Your extreme score/s on some of these traits occured because you very consistently answered a certain group of questions that measure the same theme. Answering in a consistent manner is usually a good thing in a personality test, but not if it is considered a trait that is undesirable in the work environment. OUR PSYCHOLOGISTS ADVICE: read the feedback below. Even if you agree that your black list trait describes you best, it is hard to believe that in all given scenarios you will act in this manner. We encourage you to tame your responses. Decisiveness Inability to make decisions quickly may not be a problem for certain positions. However, extreme low scores indicate that the person is hesitant and has trouble taking any minor decisions by themselves.
