I thought that this was all to do with the DBS check to make sure you ere not on any registers for criminality or other offences but I was wrong. It is an estimation of who you are based on everything you have done in your life, who you have been answerable to, what responsibilities you have had and how you have undertaken them. It is even about what career you have chosen, what work you have chosen and is an estimation if you are interviewed o how trustworthy you will be.
I think it profoundly interesting that instances of sexual harassment and child abuse have made us more aware of the bestiality that lurks inside all human beings but I do wonder how many people are really this good at character assessment that they get it right? I am interested though that one’s chosen work is indicative of who one is.
I want to see the results of research done into that, that will illuminate those aspects of personality that drive us.
