If so, you need to change your tactics. Yes, it's a game. You need to always answer questions in the most affable, team-oriented, pro-company way possible. Saying that you were never one for "BS" is going to get you stuck in this "unemployable" sector for a long time.
It's a choice you need to make, play the game or be left on the sidelines. You can talk about your beliefs and values here and unfair it is, but as you see, displaying them on a personality test has you sidelined for 6 months now (possibly longer, because I can't imagine they'll believe a 2nd test that becomes magically acceptable to them).
They gave you an out - by allowing you to say you had a technical problem. What is the reason you didn't just say that? What are you standing for by producing a negative personality test?
"it is what it is" isn't good when you're trying to impress people enough to get a job.

If caught lying about a technical issue, I could be accused of job application fraud and be barred from ever applying anywhere in the company again. Anyone having access to it would see I had no problem finishing the test. Everything had been answered.
But sure, being honest about my personality type was clearly not a good idea. Lies about personality are harder to prove. This was the only time I had ever come across a company who used the personality test as the *only* thing that actually mattered in the whole hiring process. Apparently verifiable experience and education counted for nothing in this case.
