I don't know the specific laws, but if a company issues a personality test or "integrity test" as a pre-employment screening or as part of an application process, doesn't it follow that the applicant should be allowed to know how they scored on the test?
Most psychologists and psychometrists agree that the results should ONLY be interpreted by a clinically trained psychologist anyway.
So if a person has a right to know why they have been turned down for a job, then they should be allowed to view the results of a psychological test they took for a company as a condition of employment - right?

How are we to know whether the company is gaining access to our minds/personalities that might be considered "intrusive" or "sensitive and private"?
Are these tests appropriate without full disclosure and authorization?

They tell somebody their test says they are nuts, they go off and start stalking a company official... that's just not very smart policy.
I agree that a trained professional such as a psychologist should interpret the results of the test. Is the company using one? Was the test designed by a psychologist who gave the company guidance on what various answers would mean without needing to actually review each test?
There is no law that I know of that would force them to give you the results of the test. I don't know where you live, but most places there are no laws that evern require a company to tell you why you have been turned down for a job.
On your additional comment about full disclosure and authorization... you are giving full authorization when you agree to take the test.

NO you do not have the right or privilege to know why you have been turned down for a job, writing a test or giving out personal information as part of the application process is recommended however voluntary.
You can request that the company divulge the information or your results, however they are under no obligation to. If you approach the situation in the context that you would like to know the reasons you were not chosen to assist you in any further interviews they may be willing to share that information with you.

hi, this is form of stingy, yet by employing no skill unlawful! With regards the shift customarily, despite the fact that if or no longer they are in a position to 'make' you artwork it may be counted on the precise wording of your settlement, are you envisioned to artwork on each occasion the boss says, as an occasion, or are you gotten smaller to particular hours. each worker is entitled to take a seat back sessions in between shifts and this is going to be a minimum of eleven hours, despite the fact that if it rather isn't unavoidably eleven hours every time. see you later because it averages under eleven hours over the reference era (it rather is many times 17 weeks), they are going to be in the regulation
