Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests

I had never thought these types of of tests were good for use in the way they are used when reducing applications for job positions. However, if the people who are complaining about how bad these tests are in this documentary are good examples of the type of people being rejected, my mind is changed. If I was hiring somebody, I'd hate to have any of them waste my time interviewing them. They are the type of people who will never rest until they have found something 'problematic' about everything, and they will always interpret it as an institutionalised bias against them personally.

This documentary definitly brings some remarkable questions to the light.

However the topic itself is quite interesting the presentation seems to be a little bit "cheap".

I apreciate the creators for having people with different perspectives in the documentery.

Although it would be much better if real data were used instead of using only people´s own stories and opinions.

It starts out incredibly interesting and by the halfway mark, you realize this is more about white men being the devil then it is about educating viewers about the topic at hand. It got carried away in preaching and less about informing. Shame because there was so much potential to educate without throwing barbs.

The documentary is a good introduction for anyone not familiar with personality tests however it stays on the surface of the matter in both branches it tries to touch upon (namely the science behind the test, and the socio-economical aspect/impact). But what is the worst thing about this documentary, and if I was rating only that, it would have been 1 star (at most) is what they have done with the sound when loud music always plays on top of people talking so most of the times you can't understand a word they say unless you use subtitles.

I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary and its contents. It's very eye-opening and definitely worth a watch, especially if you're in the employment market. There were many interesting examples and points of view presented, so I'd say it's quite a well-rounded production. However the technical watchability is rather poor, the music is way too loud and makes it very difficult to understand the speakers. I nearly turned it off because I couldn't hear the speakers properly. Overall, however, definitely worth a watch.
