I’ve just done psychometric testing for the first time, for a potential job. This seems like a really dumb way to select candidates.

It is. You should check your gut for other weirdnesses.

If it’s a Myers-Briggs type test, It’s been debunked as not much better than horoscopes. Vague traits that might seem adaptable to almost anyone, and no correlation to job suitability. en.m.wikipedia.org/…/Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator

My dad has worked for his company for about 15 years. They implemented psychometric testing about 10 years ago. If he had to do the psychometric testing, I’m not sure they would’ve hired him. He’s very good at his job, but is pretty much the laughing stock of the office.
