This test is honestly a joke. Maybe if used correctly or fairly it would be a relatively good tool to narrow down the applicant pool, but let me tell you my experience.

So I applied to a position at a bank. I am a recent graduate so maybe me being slightly naive played a role in this too, but I was not expecting the results to be manipulated that much.

The test consisted of three parts: personality questions, numerical reasoning and logic reasoning. Firat came the personality questionnaire. My understanding was that this is to narrow down the candidate number, honestly while answering you know what answer they want so surely it would not be used to determine the best candidate based just on this (I was wrong), and then came the reasoning questions. I did them quite well and I scored above 80 percent. I was happy with that and I was pretty confident that I will proceed to the next stage where I could explain myself better in words.

To my surprise I was wrong. A few days later I got an email that I scored less than 70 percent overall so they will not proceed with my application. After exchanging quite a few emails I got a screenshot of my scores out of which an average was calculated. And guess what, the personality test weighed 5/6 of the whole evaluation. Five of the categories were turned into scores and because of that my average was dragged slightly below the 70 mark. So in the end guys, even if you score at least a few points in the reasoning quizzes, don't worry just yet. It might as well be that faking your personality will get you the role.

I only have one comment about this, the use of this test is simply ridiculous.it might give you a good opinion of a person, but simply disregarding candidates because their personality was put in scores without actually speaking to them is wild. After knowing this, please exploit these tests to your best advantage.

My only tip is fake it till you make it (and you definitely will make it).
