I applied online for an associate engineer position. After a few weeks I was sent a link to the pre-hire assessment test. It was a series of multiple choice questions that asked how you would react in given scenarios involving, projects, clients, colleagues, subordinates as well as project management strategies. Since it was an entry level position I thought it would just be a gauge of my experience, but apparently I have precluded myself from the position and from applying again for a year. I personally thought I was a good fit for the position and could learn the skills they wanted, and I think they lost out on a good candidate with an arbitrary personality screening. But that's just my 2 cents, maybe the test revealed that I'm an undesirable psychopath or something.
