I’m not sure anything about a job interview would stress me out more than a personality test. How do I prepare for that? Be less myself? No employer needs to know how nuts I am. There’s a reason I’m good at reading social cues. I’m not meant to unleash all of me to all of the world. This ain’t to say that I need to hide. Certainly not. But we also don’t want to walk up to the Sunday school teacher and start discussing our sex life, nor do we bring up how stupid we think people have become in society with someone who employs us. It just isn’t tactful or smart. I am extremely accepting of opposing viewpoints to my own. But I don’t openly contradict people who do not read as being truly open to discussion. (Because most people aren’t, by the way, even if they say they’re open to it. They’re lying. They’re open to stating their opinions like facts, and then meanly judging anyone who doesn’t agree exactly with them.) So, that being said, having to take a personality test as part of an interview process, to me, sounds terrifying. It also sounds like a 99% chance of being rejected, or, at least, of being treated negatively by others.
So, yeah… no, thank you. Haha
