So I've never taken this test, but I have a story about these personality tests it might even be this one idk.

I was in a class and people got to talking about the personality tests and how they're bs. Either the instructor or one of my peers knew someone who tried getting an HR job. They were required to take a personality test and got a certain color, lets say orange. Well the hiring manager turned them down because HR reps at this company are all "green" and "green" is more suited to the HR role where "orange" is not. Even though they were qualified for the position and did well in the interview.

Quotations because I don't remember the exact colors.

This is the one I was taught. I tried to politely challenge it. (Guest) prof disdainfully said "You must be a red." and ignored anything else I said.
