Ive always just assumed that all these tests are bullshit, and id like to be enlightened why so many rational people are into them (or so the test says)
My work gives them to all employees to help know how it may possibly be best to deal with some employees. And to make sure they're in the positions best suited for them.

One example is there was a project manager who's test strongly suggested he'd be better placed as a sales guy. The bosses approached him and asked him if he'd like to try out the position. It was something he had never considered before as he had just always thought of himself as a manager. He tried out the position and has never looked back, much happier in his job now than he was before.
