I'm angry because it was for an application was for a night shift lab assistant position. I've only ever seen these stupid personality tests for retail positions and positions that require a lot of interaction with others, which I can sort of understand.

Personality shouldn't matter so much for lab work. You collect specimens without contaminating them, you feed them through a machine, and report the results. Only a high school diploma and minimal lab experience is required. Pretty much anyone can easily be trained to do the job and yet they seem to want only the most happy-go-lucky, brown-nosing, people-loving automatons.

I didn't even need to do a personality test for this pharmacy tech position I have now in a high-volume retail pharmacy. And pharm techs in my position need to be able to talk to a lot of people.

I just feel like this company I applied to is asking for more in their candidates than what's reasonable. It's frustrating.
