I extremely dislike those obscure tests companies make you take to profile you. Fuck those Kolbe and DISC tests which are the ones people ask me for the most.
Employers always ask for these stupid things so I just save old ones and give them those. God what a waste of life those are and most the time I think 2 or 3 of these 4 options all work for this stupidly obscure and useless question.
On top of that, these things take like an hour to do! Ugh time I will never get back.
Short story – in regards to the DISC test, I had an inconclusive result on part of it the first time I took it, then again the second time about 2 weeks later and then AGAIN the third time I took it a year later. Hah it was saying I didn’t feel settled in where I lived or something like that. To be fair, I had just moved 4 months prior, but was THRILLED about the move and again, how do I have the same inconclusive result a year later. Like dang maybe I just don’t have strong opinions at all or don’t give a shit what my living situation looks like as long as my needs are met.
This company I did the DISC test with hired all their employees solely based off the result of that test once their resume fit the requirements. Happy I don’t work there anymore and don’t have to do their BS team days every quarter filling out annoying Strategic Coach forms that are far better suited for management staff.
Anyways thanks for listening to my rant. Would love to hear everyone’s thoughts/opinions. I am sure some of those tests do help in weeding people out occasionally, but employers use them like a prophecy. The brain is a complicated thing and my answers will vary obviously based on many external factors although the end result is usually close enough to the last one so I will give them that.
