Problems such as low validity and reliability, and two, 80% of psychometric tests are superficial, meaning they only assess human behaviour, which is just the tip of the iceberg. We’ve seen employees fired based solely on their behavioural style, which is akin to negligence given the knowledge we have today. For example, I’ve heard a person say, “oh, that person is a high D, they are going to be bad at detail.” Well, what if the same person values the regulatory motivation system? Eg, they value detail, procedures, rules and discipline? What if the brain is wired for pragmatism?
People are incredibly complex. It’s myopic to rely on behaviour alone. i.e. a person’s communication style and main emotional manifestations (The How). In the figure below, you can see that behaviour is simply the tip of the iceberg. Values (The why) are the secondary metric to measure in a person. Values drive behaviour. Then the most crucial part. Neuro-axiology (The What). What influenced the wiring of your brain during the first 30 years of your life? What are the unconscious natural talents you possess? What practical applications are there?
