Some websites suggest  that job applicants can "cheat" on personality "tests" by learning how to fake their responses.  They are wrong:

    (a)    First of all, the purpose of selection instruments is to best match individuals with jobs.  Cheating is personally VERY counter-productive.  Don't go there.

    (b)    Most personality inventories include items specifically devised to catch "cheaters," so watch out.

    (c)    There is no evidence whatsoever that using the IPIP website to learn how to take a particular test will in any way enhance the likelihood that one will be selected for a job.
