@UCpH4AbLz-pH3c0aEHSgXCTA The personality test questions/statement is more likely to be: "I often get angry" Then, I would answer as FALSE, or STRONGLY DISAGREE, because I don't 'often' get angry. However, if they do pose a statement or question that asks if you have ever been angry, then yes, you would AGREE, because the vast majority of people have become angry at some stage in their life.
I have nothing to do with this vid but can you makes some vids on tips and tricks how to pass ur selective test and if u are doing it then can you make it in a hurry because my test is coming soon in like 3-4 days
Just lost a really important placement to me because I followed the advice of ‘choose answers honestly’. Wish I’d followed my instincts and did research by watching videos like this one
Honesty, education & experience is no longer a virtue in employment. It's about studying and rehearsing mechanical answers to WOW the employer. In other words - Beat the System. Shameful.
After meeting logical reasoning requirements but not reaching personality requirements for solicitor positions on SJT tests ive done a lot of searching for guides how to approach these tests. This is the first guide that I've found that has been helpful and comprehensive into how to approach these tests. Much appreciated!
I honestly think the "I work best if I am working in a team" question is tricky only in terms of answering it based on a separate question. Alot of these personality questions are repeated but at a different angle to where answering differently causes answers to conflict. If you chose in a earlier variation to this question by saying "I work well with others" but in this other question you say "I prefer working alone" on a separate question, then you just broke consistency. Employers are looking for consistency as well. For this question in particular @19:00 I honestly think no matter the job, you should STILL select "I prefer working in a team" because Teamwork is how everything gets done. Even IF you are alone often, saying this means you are showing that you are willing to work as a team if needed. The question isn't asking, "What is the best way you work?" That's a different perspective entirely. That's just my thoughts and perspective with how I would see it.
Q13. Being realistic even if that means being pessimistic is extremely valuable in roles where there is the necessity to identify risks and develop contingency plans to counter events proactively instead of reactively. Some roles come to mind such as in Project Management and Health and Safety fields.
I’m so glad I came across your video. I did a insurance agent SLP assessment and passed. You gave me confidence and reassured me how to be consistent. Thank you!
Fantastic - you're welcome! I'm so glad to have helped :) All the best in your new career! Please would you SUBSCRIBE to my channel? I'd very much appreciate your support. Thank you! Richard 🙏
I didn't pass an original personality test for a role that I'm already doing as a consultant even though I was strongly encouraged to apply for the role by my (client side) boss and her boss, too. They've re-advertised the role and now I'm going for it again. Here's hoping it goes well. I feel much more prepared this time round. Thank you. 😊
@@orsobruno1980 Well, I then found out that they had a time restriction on when I could take the test again. So if you fail the test, you can't repeat it again within a year. However, I had major surgery about four days prior to my first test which impacted my performance. Based on that, I secured an exception, had a couple of interviews and I secured the job! ☺️
- 13:06 Neutral, some people have advantages from parents or natural skills, while others may have a lot of disadvantages. So I wouldn't say it is fair for everybody, but I wouldn't say it is unfair for everybody. - Also "I refuse to concede an arguement" I answered in my test as disagree, so there is still room for "IF I knew I was right, I would try to promote my idea, instead of just giving up". - "I'm always realistic, even it means I am negative"; I believe employer appreciates a worker, who doesn't sugar coat things, and dares to tell things as they are, it shows your loyalty, kind of throwing yourself under a bus for work.
This is where psychology as as science has gotten us to, most of these questions can be interpreted in many ways, the answers are meaningless unless one understands the context of the answers given. Who knows what the respondent has in their mind.
I doubt any psychology researcher would think this tests do anything at all (other than to prove that people lie when they have incentives to lie, shocker!!!!). As usual, it's not the science it's bad, it's the implementation.
@19:33 Question 5: I work best if I am working in a team How about for a manager or director post? If I agree, it's saying that I can't think by myself to make decisions? And if I say disagree, it's saying I work best if I'm alone and that I don't like to work with people? Excellent video by the way

I’ve been searching all over for help with an online test for a job. I’ve failed it twice before. This video is going to help me tremendously. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
Hello good sir! Honestly, this video made me think differently oh how to be in the employer's shoes and what they are seeking for a future employee. I'm sure like many others, I've attempted the police officer psychological exam two years ago and failed. However, your advice and hopefully more content can make me feel more confident and ready for the next attempt. Thanks again :)
Thank youuu soo much I found your channel! I passed the value assessment test and interviews because of your useful, helpful and very informative videos !💕 More power! 😊
Seen this video and attended a test for a leading bank in UK. I have cleared the round and funguses crossed for rest of the rounds. Thank you so much Richard ☺️
Thank you- felt reassured that my answers fitted the requirements - no real difference between what I would put and the answers given. I feel reassured.
HI, Thanks for a great video. I like the way you have presented this content in a crystal clear manner and also your instruction to keep the job in mind when answering really helps. If i were to take your que for this question as an eg " I get nervous talking to people i dont know" and respond as False then sooner or later this would get noticed while on the job. So my advice to those answering as False (when in reality its true for them) is to take note of this question and ensure something is done to overcome the nervousness when talking to new people (as an eg) so that you are not in a spot once the job is yours. This is how i would answer the mock personality test. 1) Strong agree. 2) Strongly agree. 3) Strongly agree (bit unclear on the intent of this question). 4) Strongly agree 5) Strongly dis agree. 6) Strongly agree. 7) Strongly agree. 8) Strongly agree. 9) Strongly agree. 10) Strongly dis agree. 11) Strongly dis agree. 12) Strongly agree. 13) Strongly agree. 14) Strongly agree. 15) strongly dis agree.
Unfortunately HR/companies wants us to tell lie. Rather why can't they train new candidates of how to go about with those skills than to just reject them on the base of truth that they disclosed.
@@vunguyenchannel truth.be told...forever through time.....its like runnimg into a catch 22 situation or caught in a time travel paradox that breaks the fabric of the universe
I don't take it as a lie, though... I take as knowledge people. So at times when the company need our help, we know what persona should we appropriate our selves. Then at times of relaxed times we can switch back to ourselves. Isn't that what professionalism is ? right ?
Can I ask what your answers would be "True" or False" questions, on the first two you showed? "I take risks" and "I find routine boring". I am moving to my 3rd step interview, for a Admin Asst. and it is a personality test. Thank you for taking the time to walk though what a test could look like. I have been told to be honest as possible. But I like the way you explained, to put yourself in the hiring managers shoes. Thank you.
Thank you for your real honesty! It's so refreshing! I believed them when they said to answer honestly. I now realize these tests discriminate against people on the autism/asperger spectrum, as well as against introverts. I prefer to work independently and I answered that way, because - "honesty", but I am perfectly capable of working in a team and do well at it; it just isn't my preference. Same with distractions while working, and a whole host of other things. The advice to "answer honestly" will never land you a job if you're an introvert or on the spectrum.
Great advice. I always hesitate to answer, "If you disagree with your boss, the CEO, would you let your boss know. I'm not sure what the employers are looking for. Does someone voice his/her disagreement with the boss all the time; therefore, the person is not a good fit? Or someone who is honest and is looking out for the organization? I've learned to be tactful and voice only when matters, because the higher you go up, the more fragile egos you are dealing with.
I took one of these tests recently and after watching your video I realized I def should have lied on the assessment. Anyhow I have another one coming up and from your point of view I am feeling a little less anxious about it. My confidence was shot. Fingers crossed
I want to thank you for this information. The hiring process is not the same back in the day. Thank you for the examples and explanation on my hiring process. Good luck everyone!
Dear Sir, Your Video was so valuable to clearly understand how to answer those personality questions. I learned so many things which I did not know so far. God Bless you ...!
22:46 Isn't it better for companies a worker who has a realistic view when approaching to new problems or situations? I think it could be considered as a person who accepts the facts, even if they are negative, and who can create a solution that can solve that negativity. I mean, we always come up with difficult situations and it's better to acknowledge and address the problem or negativity rather than just let it slip by.
The Top 10 Skills , Qualities & Personality Traits employers look for: 1.. 2. Honesty & Integrity 3... I will always treasure the fact that I learned this from a video showing me how to cheat on Personality Tests
I like how I was worried if I was doing something wrong but when I watched this video it’s exactly what I was doing. I like working alone: true or false My answer would be true but I’m forced to put false. Pretty much doing the opposite for most questions lmao.
When you are told there are no wrong answers that is completely wrong. There are right answers. The wrong answers end your progress in the interview. Personality tests should never have been introduced into job interviews, but someone needed something to sell to lazy HR departments. If we followed how long employees remained and tried to justify that with the personality test there would be an interesting case.
Question Q - answer DISAGREE ... Okay so you say Agree and that this would show that the person shows empathy and compassion and i have them all, so then I would be judged by this question and I don't agree. It is a tricky question, indeed. This is great. I wish I watched this before my test yesterday. I was told there was no right or wrong answer, HOWEVER......i got a 20 score out of 40 and so i won't be getting that interview. Thanks for posting this video. It is really helpful!! :)
I AGREE WITH YOU! Watch this video too: ruclips.net/video/wexzvClUcUk/видео.html Please would you subscribe to my channel? Thank you very much for your support! 😊 🙏
I see that your approach is to draw a connection between the job description and the questionnaire, and answer accordingly, but it rarely seems so cut and dried in my experience. There is a negative interpretation to any of the possible answers to these questions. Strongly Agree or Strongly Disagree? Then you are too inflexible. Somewhat agree or disagree? Then you are not true to your beliefs. Neutral? Then you are non-commital. Prefer to work alone? Then you're not a team player. Work well with others? Then you're not self-motivated; and if you agree to both, then you're contradicting yourself. If I said "I put people I work with at ease," and then said "I prefer obedient people over carefree people," I would expect a hiring manager to think that I do not like the people I work with, that I am not good at getting people to obey, or that one of those statements was false. My usual goal is to be honest so that I do not get caught in a lie, but these tests clearly discourage honesty from the applicants. I suppose the choice is to NOT work for an employer that psychologically profiles me (very unlikely), or figure out what they want and do my best to act like I am those things (but not too much because then I'll either seem self-important, or overly eager to please). I think a more useful video would be about how to decipher job descriptions to know what they are looking for. Rarely do I find myself in a situation where I can tell from reading a job description or the company's values statement what answer in the questionnaire will get me to the next phase.
If you rely on job descriptions to figure out your employers' preferred culture, there's usually two possible scenarios: 1. they are able to detail cultural requirements 2. they don't mention anything about it In 1, it's obvious they are specifically asking for these types of personalities; But in 2, you can usually decipher it in the way employers discuss the tasks to be done x how these tasks are usually defined as "done".
"Compliance is a valuable to most employers." More like "compliance is the only trait my a**hole employers ever cared about." All love though :) On a real note, this video was very helpful!
4 agree, I agree we do because it is. I answered that because I'm very judicious. I was told to not answer wishy washy in the middle, it's like a 7-8 bubble test. but you've made me feel at easy to say disagree/strongly agree or agree/strongly agree because the middle is where you're wishy washy. I took him literally. You are making me feel SO much better.

What you asked for from me: Q1: strongly agree Q2: strongly agree Q3: disagree ( I do feel like I have to look after myself to a degree to be able to look after another however, I do tend to put others before myself. And this may not be a good way to answer for a employment test question but if I am being honest and answering for you....) Q4: agree Q5: agree (because I am a hard worker either way and confident in working in either setting) Q6: strongly agree Q7: disagree Q8: agree (in general, Yes, they should - however, there are certain people who will deserve different treatment that we can't deny whether it be positive or negative treatment that may be necessary) Q9: agree ( it is an unfair world. there are some that will never have the same opportunities as other simply for the parents they did not choose or the place they did not choose to live in which certain opportunities are just not available - yet, I do believe a good many of us have the necessary tools and opportunities to advance ourselves if it is truly a goal for one to do so. Q10: strongly disagree (obviously) Q11: disagree ( I can follow the crowd if I feel the crowd is headed in the right direction OR EVEN when I feel is what needed or expected of me; but, I tend to march to the beat of the drum that will lead my son or myself to success and happiness even if that means marching in the opposite direction of others alone.) Q12: agree ( I don't have to be involved in something big & exciting. However, do I think it is important? To a certain extent I do actually think it is IMPORTANT for one to feel they are involved in something big & exciting as it can give one a sense of meaning for their life and improve their overall performance when they feel they are involved in something big. But I don't have to be) obviously I bounced with this one from agree to neutral. Q13. disagree Q14: strongly agree Q15: disagree and the questions asked after the first mention of answering these in the comments below where the first question asked was "we live in an unfair world" Q1: agree Q2: neutral Q3: strongly disagree Q4: agree Q5: disagree Q6: strongly disagree Q7: disagree ( I am to tired for a busy homelife after a busy workday and might just want to relax and probably will :) ) Q2: reluctant to get involved with the welfare of others. This one was hard for me to answer, I am aware that my answer could imply that I do not care for others or am unwilling to lend a hand when needed which is definitely not true so I am unsure on how to answer this question only because I have such a strong belief in something like this. I FIRMLY believe that IF YOU SEE WHAT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE WELFARE OF ANOTHER PERSON - YOU SHOULD TRY TO HELP! OFFER HELP! MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU ONLY WANT TO HELP NOT CAUSE HARM- make sure they feel comfortable in knowing you aren't there to judge but simply help. This is where my hesitation comes in with answering this question and I stand pretty strongly on it: WE ARE HERE TO HELP OTHERS, NOT HURT THEM. So if I don't feel that I can help them or have the resources to extend to help them then I will not get involved in MOST cases of course there are certain situations where anyone in their right mind would get involved and welfare could mean so many different things so it depends on the degree in which the question refers to. You never know why someone's welfare is not up to the standards of our social norms and it may be just for the same exact reason which you yourself are unable to help them. This is why this question was a little harder for me to answer FOR YOU- now answering for a job I may answer a little differently as I know that this is such a small window into who I am as a person would be misunderstood if I didn't answer as person willing to help someone. Thank you for your videos!
That was very useful as these tests tend to be pretty tricky and rightly pointed, especially strongly agree/disagree ones. phew! I feel more confident now. Thanks Richard.
Q11 the contradictory thing about these tests is that, often you hire someone into a junior role in the hopes that they will climb the career ladder into managerial roles one day. Now in the shoes of the employer again, do you want a future manager, or a forever junior subservient employee?
Great content and examples! How would you answer these three ones: 1) I like to defend the decisions made by those above me; 2) I'd rather work as part of a team than alone; 3) I am driven by competition! You must choose 2 with most or least! Thanks
Honestly, I would just answer truthfully... Think about it.. if you are gonna say that you get excited about getting to work on a difficult project but in reality, you DO NOT and prefer working alone.. When they hire you, they are going to EXPECT you to work on difficult projects one after another in groups You are at the losing end.. How long are you going to stay in that job? Or would you just suck it up and endure it.? Better off finding a job that requires you to work independently.
They always say its not a pass or fail. BS did you not get the job based on your answers. Then you fail. I have noticed a trend that companies that employ these type of questionnaires tend to have extreamly toxic environments.
Your videos are always very helpful. Thank you for posting them online. I have a question. Recently I too personality test in banking sector. The questions were 'What best describe you' you have to choose one answer from two provided on the basis Strongly Agree, Agree, Slightly Agree. All was fine until question said: 'I will drop task if too difficult' v 'I get stressed easily'....You have to chose only one answer and chose Strongly Agree, Agree, Slightly Agree. No option to say Neutral or even omit the question. Out of 23 questions there were 3 questions like that. I would be interested to hear from you what to do in this situation.
Minimize the harm the question can cause. Irrespective of what sector we're talking about, you're hired to perform tasks - not to drop them. Dropping a task is *not* an option. All jobs have levels of stress, so it's OK to admit that it happens "I get stressed easily." Then choose the answer that takes the most bite out of it - slightly agree.
For a lot of these questions, the honest answer with respect to the workplace would be a totally different answer from what would be true in a social setting.
Hi Richard, I’d like to thank to you and share that I have passed the amazon online assesment today. Your video helped me alot in understanding the general concept.
the way i would approach it (preferably during college) is to have the personality test and the answers should be honest .Based on my results , i would identify my opportunity areas ( across the 10 skills mentioned above ) and work on getting the right training /coaching to improve on them . eventually , i will be working in a real life environment and i should be able to demonstrate an authentic personality traits .That would be my approach
We pass these tests by refusing to be a part of discriminatory practices that isolate and condemn applicants based on their "personality." Not only are these practices immoral, they are unethical in any form. Good luck to you all. If you are ever faced with this decision, think about working for a company that isolates the exact personality traits and trash bins the rest of the applicants. Not sure if you want to work for garbage companies like that, but applicants that are aware of these illegal practices will never be a part of those process's. Thanks for the video.
I gotta say. You're right. I actually failed my personality test and immediately a " you're not fit" email came after I submitted it. It through me because I answered honestly and morally. I don't get it and once I found out it's a score based test I was over it.
I encountered four statements that are all positive, and I need to choose the best and the worst... like: 1. I find it easy to convince others to my way; 2. I always go extra mile to help others; 3. I think everything will have a good outcome; 4. I am focused on details. I had to be honest in this case... I know that they are looking for a leader, and 1 and 2 both describe me very well, I am ok with details but won't say I am always very fussed about details. And I certainly don't think everything will have a good outcome, I tend to consider the worst scenario and form strategy based on the worst possible outcome. So I actually was really honest to them: no.2 describes be best and no.4 describes me least.
Thanks Richard. This video has been very informative and gave me a better understanding of personality test questions. I like the way you explain and give reason(s) as to why.
That you for this video it helped me not be afraid of these kinds of assessments, u were also helpful with giving me the confidence to follow through and think positive about passing. I took the assessment test for the position and I’m getting a call back, so thank you.

The unfair world question is tough. Answer "strongly agree" on that one and they might think you're a psychopath that might come in and shoot up the place due to a perceived injustice on the job.
I chose "Disagree" because I don't want my potential employer to think I'm a negative person. But I wont say strongly disagree because I don't want to appear as being naive. Ha ha, you tricked me into commenting😁Good job!👍🏼
Agree- look at the requirements of the job to determine the anaswer "I work best in a team". I am able to do both, but if the job req more independance then I would choose disagree but not strongly.
Personality tests can be perplexing due to ambiguous wording. "I never find myself not completing my tasks on time." Wait, what? Then ten questions later "I always complete my deadlines adequately." The second is easy while the first is perplexing but they mean the same thing. This is trickery and too often creates contradictory results. THEN if it isn't bad enough you get "I'm never at my best in the morning." Do I disagree with this meaning I am at my best in the morning, or do I actually agree because I'm not. Confounding verbiage is maddening.
Hi Richard! Loved your videos and it did help me in preparation for my test. Just to let u know that in my PAPI test they served 7 possible answers/responses; Strongly Disagree/Disagree/Slightly Disagree etc . Perhaps your future video on personality test could factor in this variant. The toughest question i got just fyi if you’re curious is; I would never tell a lie! That stumped me! Had to ask SiRi for help LOL 😂
I literally answered all these questions as you suggested on my assessment for a project manager role, this recruiter had the nerve to say I fail and can’t reapply till 6 months later. I don’t understand why !
I find myself answering these personality questions with the employer in mind and I still do not get selected for interviews or offered positions. It doesnt matter my credentials, education background, or knowing sign language. So when looking for employment, I have to go into the hiring process with the attitude of “If they hire me-Great; If they don’t-They’re lost” If I dont have that attitude, I would fall into major depression.
Ive taken several of these and I think they ask the same questions reworded several times to try and flush out the truth. they know people are less likely to answer honestly about a negative personality trait.

This was soo helpful for me, you're great. I ended up getting a job. Keep it up. Thank you
Glad it helped!
Hello there. How do I contact you? I think I need your help on this.
Congratulations Queen !
lol, you couldn't figure this out on your own.
Congratulations!
Remember guys , always....no ... Never be honest, tell the employer what they want to hear
Put yourself in the shoes of the hiring manager
@@kwlhk82 I know right, like how dare that person has a mind of their own and doesn't kiss my ass 24/7. How dare they not take the blame for mistakes and illegal activities that I do.
HOW DARE THEY!!
😂😂
Never be honest?? Kyu bhai, meri koi feeling nhi hai🤓
At my age / point in life I just answer them honesty & if the employer passes on me… well screw them
We basically have to be honest until we have to lie 😁
ye lol
Hii eva bete
you have to lie, but in an honest way.
Sad but true
I’ve been searching all over for help with an online test for a job. I’ve failed it twice before. This video is going to help me tremendously. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
You got this!
Hello good sir! Honestly, this video made me think differently oh how to be in the employer's shoes and what they are seeking for a future employee. I'm sure like many others, I've attempted the police officer psychological exam two years ago and failed. However, your advice and hopefully more content can make me feel more confident and ready for the next attempt. Thanks again :)
Thank you so much for this. I'm job hunting after working for the same company for several years and these assessments are fairly stressful to answer.
Thank youuu soo much I found your channel! I passed the value assessment test and interviews because of your useful, helpful and very informative videos !💕 More power! 😊
Cyberbacker po ba to?
Seen this video and attended a test for a leading bank in UK. I have cleared the round and funguses crossed for rest of the rounds. Thank you so much Richard ☺️
Unfair question. Agree. Sometimes we have to strive to make things possible even when things are not fair.
It was so kind and thoughtful of you to take the time to do this video. Thank you
Thank you- felt reassured that my answers fitted the requirements - no real difference between what I would put and the answers given. I feel reassured.
Thanks. this video is a blessing it helped me pass my personnel board and get my firefighter career started
doing a personaity test in 1 hour for my first internship ever.. im so excited i need to get into this
You definitely teach better than all the universities combined. Thank you 🙏🏼.
HI, Thanks for a great video. I like the way you have presented this content in a crystal clear manner and also your instruction to keep the job in mind when answering really helps. If i were to take your que for this question as an eg " I get nervous talking to people i dont know" and respond as False then sooner or later this would get noticed while on the job. So my advice to those answering as False (when in reality its true for them) is to take note of this question and ensure something is done to overcome the nervousness when talking to new people (as an eg) so that you are not in a spot once the job is yours.
This is how i would answer the mock personality test.
1) Strong agree.
2) Strongly agree.
3) Strongly agree (bit unclear on the intent of this question).
4) Strongly agree
5) Strongly dis agree.
6) Strongly agree.
7) Strongly agree.
8) Strongly agree.
9) Strongly agree.
10) Strongly dis agree.
11) Strongly dis agree.
12) Strongly agree.
13) Strongly agree.
14) Strongly agree.
15) strongly dis agree.
Richard, i watched this just before taking one of these tests and got very positive results. Your teaching really works! Many thanks!
Unfortunately HR/companies wants us to tell lie. Rather why can't they train new candidates of how to go about with those skills than to just reject them on the base of truth that they disclosed.
It's very ironic that most company put honesty and integrity as their highest values yet we can't get the job if we apply the values.
@@vunguyenchannel truth.be told...forever through time.....its like runnimg into a catch 22 situation or caught in a time travel paradox that breaks the fabric of the universe
I don't take it as a lie, though... I take as knowledge people. So at times when the company need our help, we know what persona should we appropriate our selves. Then at times of relaxed times we can switch back to ourselves. Isn't that what professionalism is ? right ?
@@vunguyenchannel is the misleading and two sides of a coin world that we live in unfortunately
@@Arthurdbsxx no that is called bipolar lol just kidding!!! But in the business world we just need to be actors and act as a professional bipolar :-P
There's some great insight here that helps me view the questions a little differently then I would have originally thought. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

Can I ask what your answers would be "True" or False" questions, on the first two you showed? "I take risks" and "I find routine boring". I am moving to my 3rd step interview, for a Admin Asst. and it is a personality test. Thank you for taking the time to walk though what a test could look like. I have been told to be honest as possible. But I like the way you explained, to put yourself in the hiring managers shoes. Thank you.
Thank you for your real honesty! It's so refreshing! I believed them when they said to answer honestly. I now realize these tests discriminate against people on the autism/asperger spectrum, as well as against introverts. I prefer to work independently and I answered that way, because - "honesty", but I am perfectly capable of working in a team and do well at it; it just isn't my preference. Same with distractions while working, and a whole host of other things. The advice to "answer honestly" will never land you a job if you're an introvert or on the spectrum.
Great advice. I always hesitate to answer, "If you disagree with your boss, the CEO, would you let your boss know. I'm not sure what the employers are looking for. Does someone voice his/her disagreement with the boss all the time; therefore, the person is not a good fit? Or someone who is honest and is looking out for the organization? I've learned to be tactful and voice only when matters, because the higher you go up, the more fragile egos you are dealing with.
Than you so much. I got much confidence in interviews and won many interviews after watching your videos
WELL DONE

I took one of these tests recently and after watching your video I realized I def should have lied on the assessment. Anyhow I have another one coming up and from your point of view I am feeling a little less anxious about it. My confidence was shot. Fingers crossed
Good Luck !! did you get the job ?
@@sapbwguru when you fail you have to wait 6 months to reTake the test
I want to thank you for this information. The hiring process is not the same back in the day. Thank you for the examples and explanation on my hiring process. Good luck everyone!
Dear Sir, Your Video was so valuable to clearly understand how to answer those personality questions. I learned so many things which I did not know so far. God Bless you ...!
22:46 Isn't it better for companies a worker who has a realistic view when approaching to new problems or situations? I think it could be considered as a person who accepts the facts, even if they are negative, and who can create a solution that can solve that negativity. I mean, we always come up with difficult situations and it's better to acknowledge and address the problem or negativity rather than just let it slip by.
The Top 10 Skills , Qualities & Personality Traits employers look for:

2. Honesty & Integrity

I will always treasure the fact that I learned this from a video showing me how to cheat on Personality Tests
I'm not showing anyone how to cheat. If you decide to cheat, that's your CHOICE.
I like how I was worried if I was doing something wrong but when I watched this video it’s exactly what I was doing.
I like working alone: true or false
My answer would be true but I’m forced to put false. Pretty much doing the opposite for most questions lmao.
When you are told there are no wrong answers that is completely wrong. There are right answers. The wrong answers end your progress in the interview. Personality tests should never have been introduced into job interviews, but someone needed something to sell to lazy HR departments. If we followed how long employees remained and tried to justify that with the personality test there would be an interesting case.
A
Question Q - answer DISAGREE ... Okay so you say Agree and that this would show that the person shows empathy and compassion and i have them all, so then I would be judged by this question and I don't agree. It is a tricky question, indeed. This is great. I wish I watched this before my test yesterday. I was told there was no right or wrong answer, HOWEVER......i got a 20 score out of 40 and so i won't be getting that interview. Thanks for posting this video. It is really helpful!! :)
Great viewing. It is very practical and insihgtful
Thanks!
“Everyone should be treated equally” I think the answer is Agree because not everyone wants to be treated the same way and people are different.
I AGREE WITH YOU!

I see that your approach is to draw a connection between the job description and the questionnaire, and answer accordingly, but it rarely seems so cut and dried in my experience.
There is a negative interpretation to any of the possible answers to these questions. Strongly Agree or Strongly Disagree? Then you are too inflexible. Somewhat agree or disagree? Then you are not true to your beliefs. Neutral? Then you are non-commital. Prefer to work alone? Then you're not a team player. Work well with others? Then you're not self-motivated; and if you agree to both, then you're contradicting yourself. If I said "I put people I work with at ease," and then said "I prefer obedient people over carefree people," I would expect a hiring manager to think that I do not like the people I work with, that I am not good at getting people to obey, or that one of those statements was false.
My usual goal is to be honest so that I do not get caught in a lie, but these tests clearly discourage honesty from the applicants.
I suppose the choice is to NOT work for an employer that psychologically profiles me (very unlikely), or figure out what they want and do my best to act like I am those things (but not too much because then I'll either seem self-important, or overly eager to please).
I think a more useful video would be about how to decipher job descriptions to know what they are looking for. Rarely do I find myself in a situation where I can tell from reading a job description or the company's values statement what answer in the questionnaire will get me to the next phase.
the examples he used here were so obvious though. It was a no brainer what to choose.
If you rely on job descriptions to figure out your employers' preferred culture, there's usually two possible scenarios:
1. they are able to detail cultural requirements
2. they don't mention anything about it
In 1, it's obvious they are specifically asking for these types of personalities;
But in 2, you can usually decipher it in the way employers discuss the tasks to be done x how these tasks are usually defined as "done".
"Compliance is a valuable to most employers." More like "compliance is the only trait my a**hole employers ever cared about." All love though :) On a real note, this video was very helpful!
Thanks Richard. This video has been very informative and gave me a better understanding of personality test questions.
4 agree, I agree we do because it is. I answered that because I'm very judicious. I was told to not answer wishy washy in the middle, it's like a 7-8 bubble test. but you've made me feel at easy to say disagree/strongly agree or agree/strongly agree because the middle is where you're wishy washy. I took him literally. You are making me feel SO much better.
THANKS

What you asked for from me:
Q1: strongly agree
Q2: strongly agree
Q3: disagree ( I do feel like I have to look after myself to a degree to be able to look after another however, I do tend to put others before myself. And this may not be a good way to answer for a employment test question but if I am being honest and answering for you....)
Q4: agree
Q5: agree (because I am a hard worker either way and confident in working in either setting)
Q6: strongly agree
Q7: disagree
Q8: agree (in general, Yes, they should - however, there are certain people who will deserve different treatment that we can't deny whether it be positive or negative treatment that may be necessary)
Q9: agree ( it is an unfair world. there are some that will never have the same opportunities as other simply for the parents they did not choose or the place they did not choose to live in which certain opportunities are just not available - yet, I do believe a good many of us have the necessary tools and opportunities to advance ourselves if it is truly a goal for one to do so.
Q10: strongly disagree (obviously)
Q11: disagree ( I can follow the crowd if I feel the crowd is headed in the right direction OR EVEN when I feel is what needed or expected of me; but, I tend to march to the beat of the drum that will lead my son or myself to success and happiness even if that means marching in the opposite direction of others alone.)
Q12: agree ( I don't have to be involved in something big & exciting. However, do I think it is important? To a certain extent I do actually think it is IMPORTANT for one to feel they are involved in something big & exciting as it can give one a sense of meaning for their life and improve their overall performance when they feel they are involved in something big. But I don't have to be) obviously I bounced with this one from agree to neutral.
Q13. disagree
Q14: strongly agree
Q15: disagree
and the questions asked after the first mention of answering these in the comments below where the first question asked was "we live in an unfair world"
Q1: agree
Q2: neutral
Q3: strongly disagree
Q4: agree
Q5: disagree
Q6: strongly disagree
Q7: disagree ( I am to tired for a busy homelife after a busy workday and might just want to relax and probably will :) )
Q2: reluctant to get involved with the welfare of others. This one was hard for me to answer, I am aware that my answer could imply that I do not care for others or am unwilling to lend a hand when needed which is definitely not true so I am unsure on how to answer this question only because I have such a strong belief in something like this. I FIRMLY believe that IF YOU SEE WHAT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE WELFARE OF ANOTHER PERSON - YOU SHOULD TRY TO HELP! OFFER HELP! MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU ONLY WANT TO HELP NOT CAUSE HARM- make sure they feel comfortable in knowing you aren't there to judge but simply help. This is where my hesitation comes in with answering this question and I stand pretty strongly on it: WE ARE HERE TO HELP OTHERS, NOT HURT THEM. So if I don't feel that I can help them or have the resources to extend to help them then I will not get involved in MOST cases of course there are certain situations where anyone in their right mind would get involved and welfare could mean so many different things so it depends on the degree in which the question refers to. You never know why someone's welfare is not up to the standards of our social norms and it may be just for the same exact reason which you yourself are unable to help them. This is why this question was a little harder for me to answer FOR YOU- now answering for a job I may answer a little differently as I know that this is such a small window into who I am as a person would be misunderstood if I didn't answer as person willing to help someone.
Thank you for your videos!
That was very useful as these tests tend to be pretty tricky and rightly pointed, especially strongly agree/disagree ones. phew! I feel more confident now. Thanks Richard.
MOST WELCOME!

@@CareerVidz how can I not!? I already did my friend 👍✌️😎👏👏👏 Thanks once again.
Q11 the contradictory thing about these tests is that, often you hire someone into a junior role in the hopes that they will climb the career ladder into managerial roles one day. Now in the shoes of the employer again, do you want a future manager, or a forever junior subservient employee?
You helped me land a job! Thank you!!
Glad I could help! :D Congrats!
big congratulations
Great content and examples! How would you answer these three ones: 1) I like to defend the decisions made by those above me; 2) I'd rather work as part of a team than alone; 3) I am driven by competition! You must choose 2 with most or least! Thanks
Sir, For your Question at 13:00
QuesTion; We Live in an unfair world
My Answer ; Neutral
For Ques 13 ; i would be realistic, even if that means being negative
My ans; Neutral
I just failed one. and I'm humiliated. I'm allowed to take it again, so now I'm petrified. You're the best
I was failed by a computer for a Customer service job
Honestly, I would just answer truthfully... Think about it..
if you are gonna say that you get excited about getting to work on a difficult project but in reality, you DO NOT and prefer working alone..
When they hire you, they are going to EXPECT you to work on difficult projects one after another in groups
You are at the losing end.. How long are you going to stay in that job? Or would you just suck it up and endure it.?
Better off finding a job that requires you to work independently.
Thanks for the feedback
I wish I had seen this video before my assessment yesterday, I was not able to go to the next step with the job, this video was helpful.
They always say its not a pass or fail.
BS did you not get the job based on your answers. Then you fail.
I have noticed a trend that companies that employ these type of questionnaires tend to have extreamly toxic environments.
Thanks for the feedback.

A 100% true.
makes sense why Progressive uses them
Your videos are always very helpful. Thank you for posting them online. I have a question. Recently I too personality test in banking sector. The questions were 'What best describe you' you have to choose one answer from two provided on the basis Strongly Agree, Agree, Slightly Agree. All was fine until question said: 'I will drop task if too difficult' v 'I get stressed easily'....You have to chose only one answer and chose Strongly Agree, Agree, Slightly Agree. No option to say Neutral or even omit the question. Out of 23 questions there were 3 questions like that. I would be interested to hear from you what to do in this situation.
Minimize the harm the question can cause. Irrespective of what sector we're talking about, you're hired to perform tasks - not to drop them. Dropping a task is *not* an option. All jobs have levels of stress, so it's OK to admit that it happens "I get stressed easily." Then choose the answer that takes the most bite out of it - slightly agree.
For a lot of these questions, the honest answer with respect to the workplace would be a totally different answer from what would be true in a social setting.
TRUE!

YEP...nailed it.
13:07 neutral. leading question to a subject unrelated to the Job function.
Thanks. I always come out as dishonest on these because I'm being truthful. So I'll have to be dishonest to appear trustworthy. 😒
:)
Same . This world is backwards now
I have a similar problem
Absolutely,my best teaching ever. Thanks. It has really help me to think before my test. Awesome teaching🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Richard, I’d like to thank to you and share that I have passed the amazon online assesment today. Your video helped me alot in understanding the general concept.
Great job! So pleased for you - you're welcome :D
the way i would approach it (preferably during college) is to have the personality test and the answers should be honest .Based on my results , i would identify my opportunity areas ( across the 10 skills mentioned above ) and work on getting the right training /coaching to improve on them .
eventually , i will be working in a real life environment and i should be able to demonstrate an authentic personality traits .That would be my approach
We pass these tests by refusing to be a part of discriminatory practices that isolate and condemn applicants based on their "personality." Not only are these practices immoral, they are unethical in any form. Good luck to you all. If you are ever faced with this decision, think about working for a company that isolates the exact personality traits and trash bins the rest of the applicants. Not sure if you want to work for garbage companies like that, but applicants that are aware of these illegal practices will never be a part of those process's. Thanks for the video.
I gotta say. You're right. I actually failed my personality test and immediately a " you're not fit" email came after I submitted it. It through me because I answered honestly and morally. I don't get it and once I found out it's a score based test I was over it.
@@alexistaylor8838 same
I encountered four statements that are all positive, and I need to choose the best and the worst... like: 1. I find it easy to convince others to my way; 2. I always go extra mile to help others; 3. I think everything will have a good outcome; 4. I am focused on details. I had to be honest in this case... I know that they are looking for a leader, and 1 and 2 both describe me very well, I am ok with details but won't say I am always very fussed about details. And I certainly don't think everything will have a good outcome, I tend to consider the worst scenario and form strategy based on the worst possible outcome. So I actually was really honest to them: no.2 describes be best and no.4 describes me least.

This was very well done. Explains most, if not all concepts clearly. Made everything so much easier.

Great tips! This will help me do well in my upcoming personality test! Thank you SO much for sharing this video and the Personality test book! 😊👍🏾
"be 100% honest on your answers"
lies on literally the next question
One test was obvious what they were looking for it was basically 10 questions about will you tell on your coworkers for any small mistake
I am so glad I came across your video! Helpful and very informative video! Thank you!
It is the best video to pass personality test easily, thank you very much,
Thanks :)
Logical, down to earth answers, perhaps the most important tip to consider is what role are you being hired for, great counseling Richard, thx

Thank you so much sir. I hope I can able to pass my upcoming Neuro exam.🙏💙 Kudos sir. Godbless
That you for this video it helped me not be afraid of these kinds of assessments, u were also helpful with giving me the confidence to follow through and think positive about passing. I took the assessment test for the position and I’m getting a call back, so thank you.

Best video for preparations for the personality test. Great explanations of those tricky questions.
The unfair world question is tough. Answer "strongly agree" on that one and they might think you're a psychopath that might come in and shoot up the place due to a perceived injustice on the job.
I thought about neutral
@@jackieburns5257 Interesting. I think I would pick the same, since it depends on which side or perspective you're looking from.
I chose "Disagree" because I don't want my potential employer to think I'm a negative person. But I wont say strongly disagree because I don't want to appear as being naive. Ha ha, you tricked me into commenting😁Good job!👍🏼
Thanks for sharing!
Helping people is a perfect example for me even my mum said that 🥰
Agree- look at the requirements of the job to determine the anaswer "I work best in a team". I am able to do both, but if the job req more independance then I would choose disagree but not strongly.
Personality tests can be perplexing due to ambiguous wording. "I never find myself not completing my tasks on time." Wait, what? Then ten questions later "I always complete my deadlines adequately." The second is easy while the first is perplexing but they mean the same thing. This is trickery and too often creates contradictory results. THEN if it isn't bad enough you get "I'm never at my best in the morning." Do I disagree with this meaning I am at my best in the morning, or do I actually agree because I'm not. Confounding verbiage is maddening.
I totally agree with you. This is what confuses me.
Hi Richard! Loved your videos and it did help me in preparation for my test. Just to let u know that in my PAPI test they served 7 possible answers/responses; Strongly Disagree/Disagree/Slightly Disagree etc . Perhaps your future video on personality test could factor in this variant. The toughest question i got just fyi if you’re curious is; I would never tell a lie! That stumped me! Had to ask SiRi for help LOL 😂
THANK YOU!
How did you answer the lie question?
Great insight if you’re teeter on how to answer these types of questions in the past. Thank you
I literally answered all these questions as you suggested on my assessment for a project manager role, this recruiter had the nerve to say I fail and can’t reapply till 6 months later. I don’t understand why !
because this methods are bullshit. they dont really map the personality of people
thank you so much Richard for creating this video, helps a ton
Really good guidelines; thank you very much! 😊
You're welcome - thank you :)
I find myself answering these personality questions with the employer in mind and I still do not get selected for interviews or offered positions. It doesnt matter my credentials, education background, or knowing sign language. So when looking for employment, I have to go into the hiring process with the attitude of “If they hire me-Great; If they don’t-They’re lost” If I dont have that attitude, I would fall into major depression.
Nice
Ive taken several of these and I think they ask the same questions reworded several times to try and flush out the truth. they know people are less likely to answer honestly about a negative personality trait.
Yes, I agree!
