Answer:

The correct answer is c. personality tests.

Step-by-step explanation:

In addition to the growing popularity of the use of knowledge and personality tests for personnel selection, organizations now administer millions of personality tests, learning styles, conflict management style, and emotional intelligence to individuals and teams each year with the objective of providing advice and development.

It is quite easy to answer the questions to appear the way you want to appear, and people in organizations are known for trying to imitate certain "types." Additionally, by giving an "objective" and non-evaluative difference for personality and style, some of these tests give good rationalizations and excuses for our defects when circumstances cannot be blamed.
