Strength Finders.
I don’t see how a list of value most and value least based on a mythical goddess could show anything like that. The name doesn’t sound like it, but maybe they think that’s the goal.

I looked up all the goddesses and remembered Athena as part of title, and the link above is the book for the doctrine, but the test doesn’t make sense to me as explained...but I haven’t read the book either.
I interviewed for a Senior PM position at a world renowned company. I targeted the company, learned everything about them I could, even taking a tour. I saw that everyone had their Strength Finders profiles on their cubes. On my resume I put both my Strength Finders and Meyers Brigg profile.
As luck would have it, I got an interview. On day one, I met with 8 people from 4 different departments. The interview lasted 6 hours. The hiring manager wasn’t there. As I was departing, the hiring manager came out and told me to come back tomorrow to meet with him and the director(s).
So, I went back the next day. That day I met with the hiring manager and 7, yes count them, 7 directors. The interview lasted another 6 hours. As I was leaving, I asked the hiring manager what the next steps were. I was told, the two teams will get together, compare notes and based on some formulas they developed they would let me know.
Sure enough, one month later I got the call. They wanted me to lead a major project valued at 20 million dollars. They already put the team together and wanted me to come in, meet everyone and do the paperwork.
I go in, sit down with the team, introduce myself and chat amicably until the project sponsor and senior management arrive. During that time, HR shows up and I get my package. All this time when I wanted to discuss compensation, I was told they pay great and the bennies will be the best in the business.
I open the package, look at my salary, close the envelope, hand it back to HR and thank them for wasting 3 days of my time to pay me what I made as a junior engineer 20 years ago. On the way out, the hiring manager chases me down and asks what’s wrong. I tell him for a world renowned company your hiring process is the worst I ever seen.
I still get Christmas cards from the hiring manager asking when I want to come on board.
