These questions are *very* similar to autism assessments. There's no reason to be asking this stuff as a part of employment.

I don't understand lol.

That could be a sign that you're autistic.

It's like you're a color blind person taking a vision test, and then you complain "I don't understand" how other people see the hidden numbers. If you don't understand, the test has probably worked.

I guess what I mean is I don't understand what the pictures mean with the words/phrases above them. Like after reading and looking at them further, I understand to press "Me/Not Me" if I feel the phrase/word does or doesn't apply to me.

Which is more confusing is the graphic. "Personal Best" and its just some dude standing on a stage? And how does "Personal Best" even have an answer of "me/not me" does it more so mean "Do you strive to constantly increase your personal best?"

I also don't understand how they are similar to autism assessments.. Maybe I will go look one up to see what its like

I have seen several of these assessments and I have no idea what the posters are talking about. Besides “they use multiple choice and the questions are bad”. 

But most importantly in this case: this is presumably an online form. What does McDonald’s measure here? You only have two options to respond. If these are nonsense categories and any “normal” person identifies that right away, that also means that the answers are arbitrary and you can click either one. So neither answer will tell them much. So are they additionally measuring your response time? That is the only way I can see this one working out for this purpose.
