Applied for Thales UK a few months ago. I was met with 19 pages of personality quiz. Seeing that, I decided I don't want to work there anymore, but I dared myself to finish that questionnaire. It was excruciatingly painful and felt really no regret when I was rejected.

It's almost like it reinforces that you are just a commodity, meat.

I do think it's important to have a fit on teams, and I have hired people with awesome skills that were terrible cultural fits more than once.

But I'm not going to fill out personality quizzes unless I am desperate. And I work really hard to try to make sure I'm never desperate. :)
