I had a similar experience which, when combined with my academic background, pointed toward a particular corporate need that (to my surprise) was mostly received as unpleasant. It’s a decision support role starting with a risk-based statistical model of products, then devising for hypothetical competing devices the best selling points. The test was useful to decide which frog, reminded me of the movie Brazil.


>was mostly received as unpleasant. By this, do you mean the role ended up unpleasant to you?


No, people had assumed it was hard and non-redeeming. Part of me thought that the personality quiz worked surreptitiously to identify me as someone just boring enough to put up with it.
