Those stupid online personality tests on employment pages feel like the "Which DBZ character are you?!?!?!?!" quizzes. And they're probably less accurate, since everybody knows the "right" answers are the "bootlicking choirboy" answers. Employers aren't looking for initiative, creativity, or anything else, they're looking for obedient warm bodies that won't question anything and will put the work above anything else in their lives, at all. Which is fucking retarded, and one of the problems with corporate America, but you all knew that.

Indeed. Borders, Costco, and many others have them.

However, companies have been using dubiously accurate personality tests for years. Hell, there was even a study a while back that found people hired at random from acceptable resumes turned out better than people picked by interviews.
