Are people still doing Myers-Briggs?[1] I had a job interview for a CTO job for a large multinational once, and when I got to the final 3 candidates round, had to take one of these. I had a very good idea what they were looking for, and aced it. The lady doing the testing told me I was a perfect match and would advise as such. I let her know these tests are easily fooled, something she seriously disagreed with. So I did a few more for her, getting every result she asked for nearly perfectly. She started babbling about this being impossible, and it being unique etc. I told her I am just good at bullshitting people. Oh, and I was offered the job (declined it in the end).

- danieltillett 12y agoYep. I once did the same to avoid having to avoid having to turn down a job I had been offered. These only work when the person is either dumb (basically acting as a crude intelligence test) or they have no idea what is required for the job which almost never occurs.
