How do you get a personality test wrong?

That’s what I started doing because I got skeptical about it 😅

They look for certain traits, it’s not exactly like this but its a “what would you do in this situation” and its got one very wrong answer and two very similar ones

Employers can’t see answers to the EEO questions on job applications. It’s a federally mandated part of the app they couldn’t take it off even if they wanted to

They legally aren’t allowed to ask anything in regards to these things because they can infact discriminate against you, by not hiring you because of your disabilities/ mental health issues, then pass it off as just you not qualifying in general

This. Told the fast food recruiter I would need MINOR accommodations (less than what I actually would need but I don’t want to get fired for “inconveniencing” them) and I didn’t get hired. I had open availability, could start immediately, had reliable transportation, and 4 years of retail/customer service exp. All I asked for was to sit for 5 min every few hours.

I’m nervous to do this because I want them to know before I waste my time at an interview where they see I’m disabled and reject me, or go to work for a few days and get fired for not being able to do the job well enough.

Doing this now, using no mobility aids, only braces sometimes. Many know I have pain/joint issues, but not the actual extent of the issues. One or a few people know I have OCD (relevant to doing dishes).

No one wants suicidal employees.

Well. I shouldn’t say no one. A very few limited cases might actually prefer it.

CVS does this for their pharmacy techs too. It’s to see if people are going to be able to work with you and if you will cause issues w customers but it literally doesn’t work at all bc one of my coworkers threatened all of our lives and she passed so this shit does NOTHING

What I do is I do “prefer not to say” then when I got the job I tell them lmao. Idk if that’s bad but whatever

Rookie mistake. Inform them of reasonable accommodation requests once you have the job.

Yeah, it was my first interview in many years, and since becoming disabled. I kind of panicked. Even my doctor told me not to do it again in the future

Genuinely just complete the whole thing like you’re the most able bodied, mentally well, open availability, and then bring up the rest of that stuff once you get hired

i always fill out surveys like this as if i were a neurotypical able bodied person. if they don't discriminate against disability then whatever i answer on those questions shouldn't matter

Feeling dislike towards myself doesn’t mean I’m suicidal. Even so, being suicidal doesn’t warrant fucking dominoes to disqualify me from the job 😭

Anonymous #8 6w

There are some jobs where it’d make sense if the question was about being suicidal, but that’s still not the question. You can dislike your body and still do a job just fine, even modeling, so I see no relevance here.

Just because you don’t see the relevance doesn’t mean there isn’t any relevance. That’s how ignorance works.

There’s literally no reason for them to ask those questions. They don’t need to know

Says you. The ignorant don’t get a say.

If it was relevant, they wouldn’t just ask the question. That’s soliciting a lie. No one is going to voluntarily tell a potential employer they’re suicidal, even if it’s true

Anonymous #3 6w

Well, I know for a fact that isn’t true. I’ve had people bring it up in an interview. But like I said, ignorance is a hell of a drug.

Giving an example might be a little more convincing, rather than just repeatedly calling everyone ignorant with no further reasoning

Don’t even argue with them. They obviously don’t actually care bc one google search and it states that it literally has no relevance

Imagine thinking a Google search is the answer to behavioral psychology and psychoanalysis. 😂

I already have my psych degree and I still see zero relevance here. If you have an example of how this is relevant, please explain, but I genuinely just don’t see the relevance myself.

Having a psych degree doesn’t make you a psychologist or psychiatrist any more than having an undergrad film degree makes you a successful and professional director.

Dawg no shit but you still aren’t answering. I’m just saying that I have a lot of knowledge about behavioral psych and psychoanalysis and yet I don’t see the relevance here. I’m asking that if you see relevance, could you elaborate 😭

I could, sure.

Basically any min wage or service job anymore for a corporation. I’ve seen it on the Walmart and subway applications too it’s literally just to screen out people who might be disabled or basically not willing to pretend that their life’s goal is to work at dominos.
