Personality plays a big part in employment. I have applied to several jobs in the past where this PEO administered an assessment test that had questions about personality and skills. I wonder if the test is anything like the Myers Briggs or if it provided far less detailed results. As for faking a personality test, I would think that it would be harder to fake personality in an interview than by just taking a test. If a candidate seems too good to be true, maybe there is a way to put that personality to the test in an interview or other form of process tests.
