I find myself analyzing the hell out of the “interpretation” of the symbols and feeling annoyed that as usual, there is no recognition of creative, thoughtful introverts. I don’t care for the simplistic pigeon-holing. I fart in their general direction.
Sorry but I only work in numerology.

It has already been established that math (and thus, trig) are raciss, so any company using this test is in deep legal doo doo.
It’s irresponsible to make a yes/no choice about hiring based on the choice of a geometric figure. The choice does not describe a person’s personality.
There are no shortcuts!
That is so-oh-oh HOAKIE.
Why don’t you just decide by the size and shape of the candidate’s heads?
Meyers Briggs is actually a crock. Do some checking into how the mother and daughter team just made it up with no supporting data, and no valid testing or hypothesis.
Rather fascinating story.
Not surprising! That seems to be the case with all psychological research. I’ve worked in places and had bosses that took it very seriously.
Ah, I’m at that point. I’ve already decided when to retire. Feels GOOOOOOOD, don’t it? :)
We usually decide on the size and shape of their hips...
LOL! I picked the circle and the squiggle. The explanation said I am an extrovert who reaches out to other people but is not very dependable. Actually, I’m about as introverted as a person can be and folks who know me think I’m completely dependable. I wonder how many good people got screwed out of a job because this guy is depending on this “test”?
Like I’ve said, this is a fun exercise. Has NOTHING...absolutely NOTHING to do with the hiring process.

A pear-shape as an option would also suffice for the test.
My gals are mostly Boxes....Thaas sexist!!! Where’s Weinstein?? We gotta defense for his poor, discriminated ass!!
“As a potential employee - I’d dismiss this malarkey out of hand and walk out of the interview.”
Pretty close to my view. The fact that they actually believe this mumbo-jumbo would tell me that they flunked their part of the interview—convincing me they are a good place to work.
I went through security training in which the instructor insisted on knowing everyone’s favorite color because of what it supposedly told him about us. My view is that favorite colors are mostly for children. We grow up and learn to appreciate a variety.
Sure, I suppose a person can have a favorite color, shape, food, etc. But ascribing to these things some deep philosophic insight is not credible as far as I’m concerned.
Stop?
