Would you let someone scan your brain and take a test just to fill out a job application? Some people would. But others would feel like it is an invasion of privacy. Even some business owners say it might not be as effective as experience. I read an article about just a procedure. ("http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-11730685")
Doctors recently conducted a study to determine whether brain scans can show whether you would become a successful business person or should be placed in a leadership position. The process is relatively simple taking only 45 minutes. The scan and test not only tell you if you would be a leader, but if you would succeed in other areas. It tells doctors, and your potential employer, a lot about you. But you might not want other people knowing information that isn't pertinent to the job your applying to. In my opinion the information isn't very personal. But if your not willing to undergo a medical procedure just to apply for a job you MIGHT get, then you should mention that to your interviewer.
This procedure is new and still being tested. But even if it is proven to be 100% accurate some business owners believe that after hiring people for so many years, they are more effective than any machine could ever be. But neuroscientists would argue that they can make a real contribution to knowing how to select good leaders. Selecting good leaders could benefit everyone.
Whatever your view on the subject is, I feel like it is a good idea. They should continue this research till it is completely accurate and it benefits everybody in the job market.
