I applied for a software role at FedEx and was asked to take this bizarre personality test. : mildlyinfuriating
1) No Memes or "meme-like" image macros. No Memes or "meme-like" image macros. These include overdone references in the title (e.g. “banana for scale”, “potato quality”, and so on).
6) Prevent brigading. Mentioning subreddits is fine; talking about them in a negative way is not - Use modmail for disputes, not posts. We do not allow any posts about reddit.
These rules are subject to the moderator's discretion, and can change at any time. A full, in-dpeth explanation can be found in the wiki here.
I was instructed to pick whether the character in the image represented "me" or "not me". The images were bizarre and kind of funny to look through. But the infuriating part is how blatantly prejudicial this type of thing is as a candidate pre-screen (or as any step before or aftering hiring someone).
It wasn't disclosed as a personality test prior to getting the results at the end. I received a score across the "big 5" personality traits at the end.
