With the recruitment process being a costly and time-consuming process [sic], the use of personality testing has increased to improve staff recruitment retention [sic]. Many recruitment processes now include personality testing as part of its assessment before interviewing a job candidate. By the candidate undertaking the aptitude, personality, and psychometric tests, the results determine if they have the relevant attributes and characteristics for the position. For example, community services and aged care organisations will ask participants to undertake a test to ensure the candidate is empathetic, caring and will embrace cultural diversity. Applying to join the police, army or navy, tests are undertaken to ensure there are no anger management issues.
HR was a mistake. This shit is... Well, let's just say no wonder men feel so alienated, in this process.
I'm not one to go for the "muh women" angle, normally, as you know, but this... Well yeah, this is clearly suited to only a certain type of person, and, at least stereotypically, one gender certainly fits those "characteristics" much more than the other, lol...
Modern interview processes at big companies are pretty demeaning. Made even more so because they're supposed to (in part) weed out incompetents, but then when you start working at these places you see how the bureaucratic nature of these same companies seems to punish you for actually being productive, so what the hell is the point of jumping through all those hoops? Getting hired is probably the hardest you'll ever work at those places.
I've been very fortunate I've been able to avoid this stuff in my career.

They should just ask what your astrological sign is and call it a day. Take off the phony lab coat, lady.
