- bluedino 4y agoWhat about the ones with questions like: When I see an error, it bothers me. Mostly agree Somewhat agree Neither agree or disagree Somewhat disagree Mostly disagree
- WJW 4y agoThat's just an emotional IQ ("EQ") test for figuring if you can detect what they want to hear.
- drewcoo 4y agoExactly. A neurodivergence filter. Because it's illegal to discriminate against that protected class directly.
- varispeed 4y agoFor me this is not answerable question because it is lacking context. If it was not possible to go to the next question, it would be where I would end the interview.
- ubercore 4y agoContext is everything, and why these fail. When I did one, the process included the narrative version of the results. I had a question that was something like "It's important to support your organization", which I agree with. In the narrative form of the results, it concluded that I "may not tell the truth to superiors if something is wrong" from that. Of course I support the organization, and I think being honest with superiors is the best way to do that. In the end, these things are so imprecise that you have to get to know somebody to know which parts are accurate (some were) and which aren't. By †he time you know how accurate it was, you know the person well enough to not need the test.
