In summary, I felt some testing system aren't inadequate and inaccuracy in nowadays when I looked through this article. It's necessary that the companies should be care the psychometric health of employee candidates for some special career field, but I think it should be in reasonable range. Otherwise, the testing system will lose its effect, If  candidates' experience are anything to go by, the job candidates should be suspicious of this kind of 10-minute 
psychometric tests that effective results in generalized, and possibly wildly inaccurate judgments.
So, its will be corrected adequately if the wise employers concerned about humanities will be taken criticism.
