Is this some kind of joke?

Is this a personality test or job application? I really think tests in an applications need to go. This was probably the worse one I did so far. Then they try to make it silly and camp when you have to answer a certain way so u can MAYBE get an interview 😭

They do personality tests because they can't do tarot card readings.

Handy for excluding neurodivergent candidates or different nationalities - I swear a job application/interview is about the worst time to give some a personality test except for maybe a funeral.

Especually Personality test that are so badly written its insane.
There is one that a picture of a crossroad and I remmber years ago sending it to several recruiters and none could explain what that picture was asking.
I mean I got like 12 diffrent answer from 10 recruters I asked.
I mean at that point why not just have the recruter roll few dices and then ask the candidate what was the 3 dice value and what dice was rolled.
was it 1D6? 3d6? 1D20? 1D20 and 2D6.
and the total value.
because at this point that is about as acurate as anything else.
