Not the interview itself, but... I had a personality test before the interview and it felt so fucked up. There were always two completely different statements of, at least to me, questionable morals. Like "I enjoy people's envy of me having better things" and "In social situations, the conversation should only be about me". Stuff like that, but not only egoistic statements. Then you had a single scale under the two statements which went from "describes me" to "describes me very well", for both statements, no neutral option. Stated time was like 10 minutes, I took it like in an hour. An hour of having to think through if I should say that "not having sympathy for an abandoned dog describes me" because the other option was more horrible. Felt fucking traumatized after that.
It got me the interview, but not the job.
I fucking hate these "personality assessments". This is from one I just took the other day. One of around 50 questions.
Holy shit, I kind of love that actually. I wouldn't love to see it on an interview I'm doing, but that it exists and someone somewhere believes that the answer you provide for that will give them some kind of insight into your value as an employee?
