For crying out loud. If you can't assess someone for a job through normal channels, like a EEOC compliant job app or resume, references, interviews and maybe a JOB-SPECIFIC test, you should not be hiring.
The best criteria after basic competencies in a job, believe it or not, is team-fit. You could hire the Nobel Plumbing Prize Winner and if he pisses everyone off, it's not a good fit. The best thing to do is have everyone that will work with the person interview them. Then hire as a team. That way, no one can complain about the new guy because everyone hired him.
Besides most companied that use intelligence/personality tests are NOT QUALIFIED to interpret the results. The ones that are are usually law enforcement, military and DoD jobs.
