Are Administrators' Personalities Related to Their Job Skills?

Wendel, Frederick C.; And Others

NASSP Bulletin, v75 n539 p14-20 Dec 1991

According to one study, hiring officials wishing to know administrator candidates' job skills cannot learn about them from administering the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and cannot learn much about personality preferences from NASSP Assessment Center data. Hiring officials should use multiple information sources, select appropriate measurement instruments, and tailor criteria to local needs. (15 references) (MLH)
