Hello Ladies, As a 50+ lady I am excited about navigating a career change. However, the interview process is rather different these days. I have been invited to complete a TestGorilla Assessment and am curious about what to expect. The interviewer mentioned that all this test is assessing is personality. Is this correct? Should the interviewer be giving me more insights about the assessment? I am interviewing for a UK based company. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you. Suzana

I wouldn't be so concerned. Look up the test profile. If you have more questions then reach out about those questions.

They have not indicated which test I am going to complete. Unless, ofcourse, once I open the actual test I see it then. Thank you for the suggestion.

Many companies look for a good fit, rather than skills and experience. It's hard to know what answers to give that will please the hiring team. Just be yourself, answer truthfully and know that if you don't get an interview because of a result from a very subjective test, you wouldn't have wanted the job anyway. That test does not give an accurate view of you as a whole person.

Thank you so much. I was looking at all the different tests listed on TestGuerilla and do wonder about these subjective tests.
