Hi Guys,

Anyone have any experience of the above (or similar)?
Anyone use it to employ?
Anyone been employed from using it?

Long story short, I'm 24 unemployed and hate it. Have applied for many jobs including a couple involving competency/profiling tests. And I haven't passed them (been told my profile doesn't match).

Is it worth me learning the systems so I can skew my answers to fit the profile they want? Is that classed as cheating, or using initiative?

Thanks for all the responses.

I think you are right in respect to the tests, they are used as part of an overall indicator.

I've done a test a friend gave me and I answered it honestly and was impressed with the results. They pretty much sum me up. (ENTP if interested). I wasn't really sure what the tests were about.

How much do employers regard them? is it a last step to get a final candidate or is it one of the first cut-offs?
