Every college should have this personality test on the applications. • I think it doesn't matter because it has nothing to do with getting into college.

Blog On Personality as a Basis for College Admission • I think the personality test to be able to be admitted into college has positives and negatives. I think this, as it is stated in the article, can provide opportunities for adolescences to get into college if they faced adverse situations in their lives. However, the negatives outweigh the negatives. I believe that grades and standardized test scores are the main things that should determine admittance to college. Also, stated in the article, people can lie and cheat the system and be admitted when they do not deserve to be admitted, just based on personality. Personality should reflect in the test scores. • People shouldn't judge other people by there personality test.
