Personality quizzes in the future of work?

BBC Tomorrow's World has shared a brief questionnaire developed by the University of Cambridge to self-assess our values. 

Is there room in the future of work for these kinds of quizzes as a useful tool / conversation starter or are they just entertainment? (Or worse, a way of pigeon holing.)

Anyone else want to take the test? https://tomorrows-world-values.pilots.bbcconnectedstudio.co.uk/

P.S. It told me that I seek to maintain security and stability for the sake of enhancing and preserving the welfare of other people and the wider world. What do I now do with that information? Bring it up in an appraisal?

    If you want a credible assessment of values (and it's free) this one developed by Martin Seligman would be the better alternative: www.viacharacter.org/.../
