Remember, employer is looking at your past performance in your previous jobs as an indicator of your future performance with their company. When writing your past work history, focus on your achievements. That’s what employer wants to see in your resume. Try to avoid including past jobs that are not useful in communicating your skills and achievements.

Do not include references on your resume. Add a line at bottom of resume stating, "References Available Upon Request". Bring your references with you to job interview. You will also want to contact people you are using as references so they know that they may be hearing from potential employers.

To summarize, include only information that will communicate your skills, achievements and qualifications for job you’re seeking in your resume. Leave out personal information that is not necessary for employer to know.

The more focused your resume is, more interested employer will be in it and he/she will contact you for a job interview.

It is not possible to totally predict anyone's behaviour no matter how sophisticated a test is or how educated person who designed it was.

While pre-employment personality quiz is designed to match candidates with job vacancies and predict likelyhood of that candidate thriving in that particular business' culture, there are also other types of personality quiz that are used for other purposes.

Closely aligned to pre-employment personality quiz is promotion candidate personality quiz. A quiz of this type is designed to match personality of an existing employee, who is being considered for promotion, to type pf personality that is needed to survive in position for which there is a vacancy.

A relationship personality quiz is designed to test compatibility factors between two people. It measures those traits that have been determined to promote a long term relationship.

There is also a type pf personality quiz that measures a person's sanity. It is typically used by legal system to determine if someone is "legally insane" and can be held accountable for their actions in a court of law.

And then there is personality quiz that is designed for entertainment purposes only. These are typically found in magazines and are developed by writers for sole purpose of amusing their readership if not for simply filling pages.

You shouldn't put too much weight on your scores for this type of personality quiz. The questions are rarely scientific and there is no sense getting your panties in a wad over something that has no real merit.

As far as "scientific" personality quiz is concerned, none of them are 100% accurate and a skilled quiz taker, or a pathological lier, can skew a personality quiz to meed their own purposes. Like anything else that can't be seen, touched, or smelled, take these personality quiz results with a grain of salt.
