Employers increase the accuracy of their hiring and employee development decisions with validated personality tests. Industrial/organizational psychologist Paul M. Connolly, Ph.D., will offer a professional certification workshop on the well regarded Hogan Personality Inventory and other Hogan personality assessments on September 12 and November 6, 2008, in Connecticut. September registration closes on August 29, 2008.

Old Saybrook, CT (PRWEB) July 25, 2008 -- No one can predict the future performance of a new hire, but many employers have found that pre-employment personality tests take guesswork out of their hiring. "More and more employers are looking for increased certainty in hiring, which is something that well validated personality tests offer," says Paul M. Connolly, Ph.D., an industrial psychologist who has worked with employee personality tests for 20 years.
