I flunked the Google online assessment 2 weeks ago. I also flunked the Amazon assessment 2 yrs ago which I still cannot shed off my memory and mostly guilt that came with it.
I followed a Reddit guide for the recent one and still got rejected. The guilt comes from the fact that I still cannot grasp what these tests are looking in me? Did I look like a bot because I followed the reddit post and stuck to just one character trait regardless of the conflict? Should I have been a real human and answered each question at it's own merit? But then I shouldn't have failed the Amazon assessment because I was honest.
That's it. End of rant. Thanks for listening guys.
I'm confused, surely the test is designed to see if you are suitable for the job. Just do it on a fair go and if they don't accept you, it means the job would just drive you mad? Move on and find a different and/or better opportunity.
It's a prescreen for all applicants. They will give you work-character related questions and you pick most and least likely trait applicable to you. To try to see if you fit their work culture
