You know what

I'm just going to say this. It is a total asshole move for businesses to use more than 25 "strongly agree - strongly disagree" personality questions in their online applications. And apart from the assholishness inherent in forcing people to answer all of these idiotic questions (half of which are repeats, worded slightly differently), it's another level of asshole to do it when you know most of the applicants are never going to hear anything from you.

Oh man, I hate those things. There's also no real evidence that they work to any extent, which makes it so much worse and creepier, imo: http://www.skepdic.com/myersb.html

Some of them, I'm not even sure if they're going for Myers-Brigg - all the questions are about working, and it's really obvious which is the right answer (except when it's completely impossible). Maybe it' a specially-formulated Myers-Brigg test that's disguised as trying to figure out who's happiest to do menial tasks and doesn't care if a customer insults them?
