Heck yes! This has been my line-not-to-cross for years now and I have trouble understanding why people seem so accepting of them. I'm not sure whether I'm more offended being judged via hokey pseudo-IQ or hokey pseudo-Myers-Briggs.

Also think about the recent epidemic of software company purchases by Vista Equity Partners, who insist on administering these things as their "secret sauce" to justify their own PE rent-seeking + honestly, discrimination against more senior employees.

There should be a public list of employers who require these, for purposes of shame and simply warning.

Personally, I'm offended by the notion that they claim to be able to pigeonhole me, with all my education and experience, in less time than it takes to get a pizza baked and delivered to my door.

There's a name that's seemingly inseparable from the whole test administration industry. My experience with Vista involves me getting fired from a job I had for a year and a half after they spun off my division into an LLC and I refused to take one of their tests. I know I'm already a victim of this industry. I've heard the stories of people who submitted to the tests, and it sounds like Vista managed several people out once they had everyone profiled.

I've been checking Glassdoor ratings, but was surprised when Certent sprung one of these on my yesterday. I'll definitely give this some thought over the next few days.

Vista's Imperious Leader is definitely a believer in Zuckerberg's Law, considering young (and low paid) high scorers to be superior to the experienced.
