An interview is a personality test. Basically, they are trying to reinvent the wheel.

Wish I had such a personality test

I had a telephone interview with Gallup recently... the whole half-hour was ALL personality-profiling. Not one question was asked pertaining to my background, skills or the responsibilities I would be assuming. After 20 minutes of this crap, I decided I wouldn't persue the position further.

The PC police in corporate HR are trying to label you from the git-go... and if you don't fit their 'flavor-of-the-month'... see ya' later.

This is what happens when consultants sell "ideas" to MBA managers that don't have any real-world experience.

why do employers think they need all this to sell their product?

You're not only selling a product. You are going to be working with others. You are going to be representing the company and it's image. You are going to be paid by this company who has a right to protect it's interests. You are going to become an employee with rights to sue under an pile of laws and agencies. The employer has every right to hire the person who fits best in their culture.

If you object to tests, don't apply for jobs that require them. There are others out there who don't object.

Each answer you give is not exactly right or wrong, it reads as the type of person you are...

"A tortoise? What's a tortoise?"

"Know what a turtle is?"

"Yes"

"Same thing."
