    I have had a theory that the personality tests are just to have an excuse to discriminate with plausible deniability.

      Yep quite a few years back I had two jobs lined up , already got the first but the second one wanted a second interview after I filled in a 50 page personality test. I felt the first offer would be interesting and better paid but wanted to see what they offered. So I said why not just be completely honest instead of faking it :) very interesting interview, I just told them that whoever sold them this idea was probably a very good salesman. The tool is just pointless. I got to much risk taking etc , yea I like skydiving… I’m not skydiving at work. … if you want people to bullshit you it’s pretty good though haha
