integrity testing

procedures used to determine whether employees or applicants for employment are likely to engage in counterproductive work behavior. Overt integrity tests are inventories that directly ask people about their past behaviors and their attitudes toward unethical, illegal, and counterproductive behavior. Personality-based integrity tests are inventories measuring the character traits thought to be related to unethical, illegal, and counterproductive behavior. Integrity tests are sometimes called honesty tests.
