I've wondered that a lot for these kinds of tests, cuz like, of course literally everyone's gonna do that, so if you're clever about it you could use it as a test of "has this person been socialized the right way to know the correct mask to wear in public on the job" or if you're even more clever about it use it as a way to filter out minorities in a way that you couldn't get sued over, because I bet there's subtle but measurable differences in the mental model of "what white people want to hear from me, a black person". On the other hand, management is real fuckin' stupid, and the companies that sell these sorts of things to management are even fuckin' stupider, so it's also entirely possible that they just take everything at face value.

i remeber one job i applied for at a non-profit there were like a dozen questions to describe the feel-goods you would get from working for said company. this was just the online application, not even an interview anyway i spent 3 hours writing bullshit essays on top of the regular application where you just rewrite everything in your resume and i didn't even get a call or a thank you for your submission letter until 6 months later

Jesus christ 200 questions lmao gently caress that. Reminded me though, when I applied to my first job I had to do a little online test to show I knew how fuckin' Powerpoint worked and that was like... 40 questions. It was also hilariously broken and they stopped making people take it after hiring me apparently. Like it would show you a screenshot of powerpoint that you'd pretend was the real thing, and ask you to do something like:  "Please save the current file." "Okay, let me just hit ctrl-S and" "INCORRECT, you have ONE REMAINING ATTEMPT" "O...kay... let me just click the fuckin' save icon right there in the toolbar then and..." "YOU HAVE ANSWERED THE QUESTION INCORRECTLY. CLICK TO MOVE ON" "O...kay..."I quickly figured out the only acceptable answer was to do every single operation in the least convenient possible way. It was expecting me to go up to the File menu, then select Save. I sure hope you remember which menu dropdown everything's under too because if you click the wrong one you got it wrong immediately! I talked to the HR/recruiter person who was handling it after I barely passed and she was like "oh yeah we know, everyone gets all the easy ones wrong so as long as you passed overall we only really look at the harder ones that generally have only one way to do them" but like 75% of them were "the easy ones" so good luck passing in the first place.

The answers are so obvious that I often wonder if answering them all 'right' is a disqualification because you're not being honest or some poo poo. A new thing I've encountered on the job hunt recently is answering screener questions with a robot over the phone. In one interview it explained that I had unlimited time to think of the answer after the question was asked and that I could rerecord my answer after tapping 1. On the first question it timed out after 30 seconds, would not let me rerecord, and immediately skipped to the next question.

Homocow posted:I hate this poo poo because it acts like a subtle form of propaganda. From an early age people are fed a message that the purpose of life is to work, that life has no meaning without work, that people who don't want to devote their lives to work are lazy and immoral, that people who don't like work are bad people or radicals, etc... preaching to the choir, etc... but here's an article about exactly that (which i read while loving off at my lovely job today): Workism Is Making Americans Miserable For the college-educated elite, work has morphed into a religious identity—promising transcendence and community, but failing to deliver. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/02/religion-workism-making-americans-miserable/583441/
