"The beginning of this personality assessment asked for honesty. So here's a bit of honesty about what I think of the whole personality assessment that businesses seem to like to use these days.

Although I understand there is a need to filter out applicants to make the employers' jobs easier, these personality and behavioral assessments will never give any real insight into how an applicant really is as a person. People act differently under different circumstances, and people change over time. Letting some software weed out applicants for having a supposedly 'unfavorable personality' doesn't exactly promote diversity in the workplace or empathy for others coming from different walks of life. And that's just assuming everyone answered honestly. So what if someone doesn't 'make friends easily' or doesn't 'believe they are right', or doesn't 'feel happy most of the time'. It doesn't necessarily prevent them from doing their jobs. And many of these assessments I've done are for entry level jobs for goodness sake.

Maybe no one will read this, or no one will care and this comment will die in the depths among the hundreds of other submitted applications and reviews, but I'm really tired of having a some computer software throw me in the garbage without being given a chance to prove myself. If companies have so much faith in machines, computers, and software to make the right decisions, why don't they just hire those for the job instead."
