Is it true that personality tests accurately predict job performance?
Unclear. Several sources indicate personality measures correlate with job performance, but the correlations reported are modest (e.g., conscientiousness around r = .19 to .22), and the studies cover single occupations or samples. No retrieved item establishes that personality tests accurately predict job performance at the strength the claim asserts.
