Not had to deal with the crap in these images, but got a personality test sent over for a position last time I applied for a job. Already was unsure if the company was for me, got two questioned in before I sent the recruiter an e-mail to point that 1) it was bullshit, not based in any science, 2) I could not possibly answer the questions honestly because the multiple-choice contained answers with more than one assertion per choice and none of the combinations applied, 3) I had no interest in the position if I had to take the test.
Got a message back telling me the tests had been "imposed" by some VP in the US and to disregard it because everyone hated them.
In the end the company kept proving me right to be skeptical because while maybe the hiring manager was trying to change thing, he was surrounded by a dystopian accretion disk of the output of worthless management self-help books and 1970's-style management doctrine.
Which made me really appreciate how lucky I am to have consistently been in a position to be picky.
