How are career assessment helpful?

Career assessments are beneficial for both the employer and the test taker. For the employer, it will give an overview of the person being hired in regards to his personality and determine if his/her interests, values, motives and preferences match with those of the job opportunity available. This would help save time and effort, the interview may focus on other important aspects that cannot be covered in a self-reporting assessment or even ask about certain aspects that have been reflected in the report that the interviewer needs further understanding of.
