Personality assessments
As a job seeker, I recently applied for a position that I have extensive experience and success in. After submitting a covered letter in resume, I was asked to do two videos on topics that were given. I was also asked to do an sales assessment. The questions seemed more like a personality assessment. I've done personality assessments over the years. The assessment was somewhat accurate in someways and in many ways not. It's been over a month and I have not heard anything since I took the assessment. My account that hosts the videos I did for them emails me when the videos have been viewed. The videos have not been viewed. I agree with you, That personality assessments shouldn't be used to determine whether to hire a candidate or not. I also feel that if the company is going to base their hiring decision mainly on personality assessments that they communicate that in the job description and asked for additional work like creating videos after the personality assessment has been taken. If they weren't going to consider me for the position based on the assessment then there would be no reason for me to spend many hours creating the videos. Thank you for your perspective on this topic.

These assessment test they make you take care pointless and usually have nothing to do with your qualifications or the job

HR is the most useless position at any company.
The personality tests are stupid the questions are dumb and have nothing to do with the position most of the time.

I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. I'd like to submit you haven't met a competent HR person yet. They can and do add value.
