Talk about bullshit, many companies (fortune 500, major health care systems) test your personality to see if you are a good "fit"!

Institutional psychologist (yeah, I know) develop these "assessment surveys", which is an oxymoron, because you shouldn't take a survey and fail the survey, yet, if you don't fit in with the profile they are looking for.... YOU FAIL!

Now .... THAT'S a bunch of bullshit served up on a silver platter.

Institutional psychologist seem to have morphed into producing some high grade tools to enable these companies whose only wish must be to reduce the number of applications they have to deal with after weighing to the possibility of whether you can fit into their Borg collective.
