Summary/Abstract: The basis for using psychological testing in management is the assumption that the individual’s psychological predisposition is an essential element used to match individuals to professional tasks. The test procedures are therefore used most commonly in organisations in three situations: selecting employees to hire, assigning them to an appropriate job, and development and career planning. The article presents psychological tests as a tool for use in business practice. It describes the history of psychological measurement and presents the results of research on the use of testing in organisations in the twenty-first century. The final part of the article presents the main directions of change in the rules governing the use of testing in business and identifies areas that require special sensitivity.
