Solid statistical research reported from many objective sources has shown that there is very little correlation between any personality factor and any specific job. Competent and reputable "personality" type test producers (like the Myers Briggs) readily admit their tools are useful for self-awareness and training but are not suited for hiring candidates. Only "skills-based tests" or job knowledge tests have consistently been proven to predict success on the job. 
Well, that is an interesting aspect to say the least. I have to agree with the conclusion which was drawn by this article in terms of the real reason for personality based tests. Of course, when searching for someone who could do the job, a test for skills and IQ would be a must as opposed to knowing who that person is.
As the article suggested, personality-based tests is useful when evaluating a person or profiling them and not really as a sole-basis for hiring them.
