Abstract

The issue of assessment centre prescreening is very important for both practical and legal reasons: some kind of prescreening must take place, and organisations using assessment centre technology was felt to be ideally suited for integrating complex individual variables such as personality, ability, motivation, needs, symptoms, coping preferences, etc. Four of these were seen as an aberration and entitled: “Stress Adaptors”, “Stress Seekers” and “Stress Avoiders”, and the findings suggested that Stress Seekers may be viewed as ideal managers, but Stress Adaptors should be recognised and cultivated.
