Pre-Employment Test

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone know how to take these well. I get confused on do you help people who need help or ignore them and do your job. Or are you adventurous. These tests are biased and meant to weed out people with Asperger's! In my opinion.

They’re meant to weed out people who aren’t “team players” *shudders*, but yes that can be a massive hurdle for us: I’ve only passed through interviews for small businesses where it was me and the owner talking about the practicalities of the work itself.
Turns out I’m useless at being an employee... so I’m self-employed now: no formal interviews to deal with. Meeting a new customer for the first time is always stressful though, but they enter with the presumption that your services are already engaged and the meeting is just to outline the parameters of the particular job in question: which puts me in a better position visa viz the old “good impression”.

I think I'm fairly good at them. However the jobs I applied to were minimum wage type stuff & a lot of the employment tests I've taken were for retail. I think about the questions & possible answers logically & I keep in mind the kind of place/job/environment that I'm taking the tests for. I noticed a lot of the questions were hypothetical situations. I can usually figure out what the company feels I'm supposed to do & I give them the answer they want. Some of my answers go against my nature but when actually working(like if I got hired) I would try to handle things that way when I could so I don't feel like I'm lying on my answers. I really want to do rite by the company I'm working for. The questions I tend to do worse on are the questions related to my personality. I usually do have a good idea of the way I should answer but I want to be more true to myself cuz I cant hide/mask a lot of those things if I was working. I wouldn't want to get hired only to get fired that week cuz I misrepresented myself & the company thought I was good at something that's an essential part of the job that I really s#ck at.

Myers Briggs "discrimination"

Not an essential job function

Not Survival of the fittest

An extroverted convicted felon would pass the personality inventories and get the job interview. The background check doesn't come until the job interview or job offer

While I flunk personality test. foot not in the door


An extroverted felon has a better chance of getting a job than me
