Anyone had to do one of these at final interview stage ?

Role in question is a perm placement.

Normally had these done early on in the interview stage - they just say I'm a bossy cow who loves praise.

Slightly unusual at the later stages of recruitment. These tend to be run earlier on to refine the initial interview lists. There are lots of types of profiling, but they all tend to be based on Yongian theories. Myers Briggs and Verax are tow that come to mind.

When we studied such things, as part of training to be a manager (having been doing the role for two years ) it was stressed again and again that they should never be used for selection, as they only indicate tendencies. So, in MBTi, someone with strongly Inituitive results can, nonetheless, still learn how to work Logically.

It's main role should be for self-understanding, and to identify, perhaps, areas for training. It helps in understanding team dynamics. But not really in constructing a team.

If it's being done at the final stages, then I'd suspect that it really isn't to do with selection.

The whole interview process has been unusual.

Telephone interview , then face to face , then the psycho test ,then technical test ,and then a further final interview

Then HR interview (which may matter at some places) then 2-3 weeks security checks ....then you able to get a Permie role....only to get a redundancy some time soon...

I always answer them giving the results they want to hear....

On jobs where they want safe and steady, those are the answers I give, on jobs they want a risk taker, etc, etc.

In other words, they mean nothing, I've never heard of anybody not getting o job because they've "failed" it, so it sort of makes the whole thing a waste of time in my book.
