I've never taken one of those for a job. What's your approach, are you answering honestly or trying to tell them what they want to hear?

You gotta tell them what they wanna hear.


But I feel ya, so many corporations make you do these fucking half hour quizzes and they are POINTLESS.


When I was unemployed, my goal was to apply to as many places as I could but if they required one of those, I'd just skip it and move onto the next application. I don't have the time or the patience.

I'd have to have the questions in front of me to really answer that properly. it's one of those questionaires that asks you like the same question in five different ways. and you have to answer "strongly disagree / slightly agree / not sure / slightly agree / strongly agree"


it's a huge pain in the ass. i've tried so many of these places that make you do this, and not once in my life have i ever gotten a call back saying hey, we would like to further the interview process.


edit: yeah ganj, that's what i'm going to start doing from now on. not worth the time i've spent.

I've honestly never come across anything like that. Any intelligent person would know how to answer "what they want to hear" anyway.

i.e. Do  you see yourself working here in 5 years... STRONGLY AGREE, etc

I hate that shit, I only ever did one, it was literally a like 300 pointless questions, and they re use questions and just word it a little differently and shit.

That was like the worst hour of my life, they never called me either, fuck 'em.

The only way this could rob you of a job opportunity is if you are literally too stupid to put the (very obvious) answers that the employers are seeking with those sort of tests.
Maybe you should consider that perhaps there are other factors that contribute to your inability to gain employment than a very simple questionnaire, and address those instead.

It doesn't matter what you think, you put the answers they want to hear, or you fail the test, period.
They are designed to catch people in lies and flag "disturbing or weird thinking". If you don't fit the profile of the modern sociopath sheep then you fail.
They will often ask the same questions multiple times, in different ways to try and trick you

Answer them honestly if you want to fail. It's a connect the dots... don't write outside the lines. You project the perfect do-gooder in the test. No maybes. all 5s or 0s.

How difficult is it to just tell them what they want to hear.
