no one truly understands themselves.

personality instruments are discriminatory.

Answer 1

The correct answer should be option 1 and option 5 - people are naturally dishonest when seeking employment and personality instruments are discriminatory.

The current scenario of unemployment along with rising costs of even the basic requirements makes it mandatory for people to have a well-paid job.

For acquiring a job of choice, a person is ready to conceal a few facts as well add in a few fake characteristics to one's self to make oneself give the feel of being the most appropriate for the job vacancy.

Also, there are chances that a few characteristics of people could be used to discriminate them from the other employees. So, they try to present a fake profile instead and hide the facts to over workplace discrimination.
