Research on the Application of Psychometric Assessment in the Recruitment of College Teachers

Abstract

To investigate the impact of the use of psychometric assessment in recruitment, the SCL-90 and EPQ personality scales, interviews and surveys were used to test 81 applicants for the selection of talented individuals with sound psychological qualities and personalities. According to the data analysis, recruits were characterized by good mental health, typically low psychoticism and typically low neuroticism, and there was no significant difference in the number of internal and external orientations between recruits and non-recruits. The use of psychometric assessment in talent recruitment can help select the right people more efficiently and reduce recruitment risk, but this work still needs to be improved.
