Thomas Personality Tests

[hairymouse]

I've just been asked to do two of these ridiculous personality tests for a permie role. The first was a test to see how much you can follow directions, how many hoops you will jump through, how much short term memory you have and if you will follow directions. There was 20 minutes of a flash app saying "Bob is shorter than mary" and then it would dissapear and the question would appear - "Who is taller, Bob or Mary?" Then there was another 30 minutes of identifiying what capital Rs match others when rotated and how many sets of letter match up.

The second was even worse, an amateur personality test asking me 75 times if I am more "trusting or vigorous?" Are you more pioneering or optimistic?

Maybe next they will ask me to send in a handwriting sample for analysis.

Two hours wasted, I almost hope I failed so I don't have to work with ******* who believe in those kind of tests..

Anyone had experience with this?

I don't know the Thomas test but there is typically bugger all evidence base for these types of test.

"trusting or vigorous?"

Employer sounds like a vigorous pigeon.

No point asking this load of chumps. Most of them think they've passed by even having a personality and even then they are just kidding themselves.

You need to find someone who's won an internationally recognised award for their personality to ask.

If I don't get the job, I could do a subject matter request and see my score. Or just ask for my score.
