AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.9
What could be ethically questionable about using personality tests based on trait theories in school admissions processes?
Personality tests breach student confidentiality rights.
The main issue lies with the accuracy of such tests, not their ethics.
Schools usually don't have qualified personnel to interpret test results correctly.
This practice may disproportionately disadvantage students who do not conform to preferred personality profiles.
