Delve into the compelling world of personality testing with "The Cult of Personality Testing: How Personality Tests Are Leading Us to Miseducate Our Children, Mismanage Our Companies, and Misunderstand Ourselves." This thought-provoking book challenges the mainstream acceptance of personality assessments, revealing their misapplications in education and business. Authored by an expert in psychology and education, it combines research, compelling case studies, and personal testimonies to illustrate how these tests often perpetuate stereotypes and fail to account for the complexities of human behavior.

Unpacking the roots of the personality testing phenomenon, this book argues that rather than enlightening us, these assessments can lead to misconceptions that shape educational paths and career trajectories. By highlighting the consequences of reliance on such tests, the author encourages a critical reevaluation of how we gauge personality and potential, ultimately advocating for more holistic approaches in both schools and workplaces.
