In drei Abschnitten – Gegenstand, AkteurInnen und Einsatzorte – werden Persönlichkeitstests in der betrieblichen Weiterbildung skizziert. Methode ist die ethnographische Feldbeschreibung. Die gesammelten Daten stammen aus Deutschland und Großbritannien. Im Beitrag wird vorrangig das Persönlichkeitstestfeld in Großbritannien beschrieben.

(DIPF/Orig.) ; At first glance, personality tests do not have much to do with adult education research. In workplace learning and training, however, they are increasingly used for triggering self-reflection. This article examines the tensions that result from this interplay between professional practice and theoretical approach. In doing so, the practice of personality testing in CVET is depicted in three sections – field, participants, and areas of application. Using ethnographic research methods, the study draws on data collected in Germany and Great Britain with a focus on the latter. The article concludes by relating the analysis to the situation in Austria and by discussing possible connections with the field of adult education research. (DIPF/Orig.)
