I had no idea some places used personality tests. From what I learned in my leadership class last semester, especially the Myers Briggs test, I thought it was illegal to use personality tests in order to determine whether the applicant should be hired or not. I don't know..it may just be me, but I'd love to hear more responses from others.

dont think they are so much "personality " tests as they are "moral" tests - often the questions gear toward theft, customer service ( wht you would do in a difficult type situation ) etc., rolled into a few nonsense questions - just my opinion - by the way if you read the questions real close they will ask you the same question in 2 different wasy to see if you are telling the truth - often these trap questions will trip you up so its best to answrer honestly on them.

The same is true for me. Except in Chicago. Actually I DID fail their personality test. What I was told is that they take your scores, compare it to the scores of currently working police officers, and based on your closeness to that, you pass/fail. Based on the number of questions, I have no idea what they are looking for. No joke: One question was if I fantasized about having sex with a squirrel.

It's a complete joke. I wouldn't put any faith in the test. I think it's likely that you DID do yourself a favor by "not passing". You'd only be miserable there.

WTH?!! :roll :roll

The title of this thread cracked me up.. I thought "how can you *fail* a personality test"? Don't worry about it unless you don't have one!

Well, I think Mr. Cho must have failed his. :o

Unless you're independently wealthy, you have to learn to give the right answers, as painful and stupid as it feels.
