Thread regarding FedEx Corp. layoffs

I applied for a software role at FedEx and was asked to take this bizarre personality test.

I was instructed to pick whether the character in the image represented "me" or "not me".

The images were bizarre and kind of funny to look through. But the infuriating part is how blatantly prejudicial this type of thing is as a candidate pre-screen (or as any step before or aftering hiring someone).

It wasn't disclosed as a personality test prior to getting the results at the end. I received a score across the "big 5" personality traits at the end.

Needless to say, the results are completely inaccurate and don't represent me at all. But fear not, it did give me some completely made up areas where I apparently have "room to grow":
/ Can be taken for granted because you complete tasks without objections
/ Can tolerate mediocre work from others
/ May have trouble avoiding social distractions
/ Prioritize meeting deadlines over work quality
/ Prone to feeling stressed

I withdrew my application…

HR likes to navel gaze and sniff their own f4rts. 90% of all HR stuff is a gigantic money waste.
