In order to hire the right people, in additon to skill test, I need to
asses personal inclinations such as:
* curious
* flexible 
* result-oriented (not carried away)
* resilient
* analytical  
* hands-on 

Common aptitude tests do not go this far.  I'm looking for best
practices that are backed bu scientific experiment.
Good answers can be:
* Books with many sample multiple choice questions, reports and analysis.
* Pointers to best books on this subjects are useful.

I spent nearly a decade as an aptitude testing specialist for a state
government agency. While aptitude tests which attempt to evaluate
job-related abilities have been thoroughly normed and scientifically
evaluated, personality tests are a very different matter. Things such
as curiosity and resiliency are difficult to define, much less
measure. It is my belief that tests of such characteristics are
generally a waste of time and money. Others feel differently, of
course, but many of the "others" are attached to the industries that
produce and sell such tests.
