Call for Stories:

ASAN Investigating Use of Personality Tests

Dear Friends and Allies:

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network is investigating employers' use of

personality tests to screen job applicants as part of applications for

employment and the broader hiring process. These tests may unfairly screen out

qualified Autistic applicants and those with other hidden disabilities through

the use of subjective questions unrelated to job performance

If you live in the United States and have recently been turned down for a job

that used personality tests as part of the application process, please contact

Crane at samanthac@... and Melody Latimer at

mlatimer@.... Please include the name of the employer, the

approximate date on which you applied for the job and any additional information

you feel may be relevant.

Thank you,

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) is a non-profit organization run by

and for Autistic people, fighting for disability rights in the world of autism.

Working in fields such as public policy, media representation, research and

systems change, ASAN hopes to empower Autistic people across the world to take

control of their own lives and the future of our common community.
