I applied and got an invitation fairly quickly to take the next steps in the process for a role I'm highly qualified for. Instead of an actual interview, they provided a personality/leadership test to take.
There was zero information beyond that, so I assumed maybe this would take 10-15 minutes at the most, which I already found unprofessional to require a test before even speaking to a real person.
I start this test and it's an absolute joke. It starts out with 4 qualities and you have to say the one you're most like and least like, despite often all 4 being good qualities that you possess.
This test ended up taking an hour or so to complete with 150+ questions, questions that were mind numbing and irrelevant. Shortly after spending all this time on a test, I was told I was not a fit at all. So before the test, I was worth talking to, then after this ridiculous test, I was not.
It was a massive amount of time wasted and it's difficult to put into words how terrible all of the questions were on this test, how irrelevant to the actual job it was, and how disrespectful the process was to a candidate and to waste so much of someone's time.
