I applied for a job that had one of those idiotic 'personality tests'. They could have boiled it down to one question: Introvert or not.
I was told they thought I scored too low to consider. For some reason I had decided to answer honestly instead of the choice they were obviously looking for. One question in particular annoyed me was something along the lines of when not at work do prefer to be in a crowd of people or at home. What does not at work have to do with anything work related?
If a company seriously uses such tests to select hires, you're probably better off not working for them. Personality and "cultural fit" are important aspects (for some jobs more than others), but a much better way to assess those is to spend an hour talking to the potential employee; not through some standardized test.
I've also heard that some companies still use graphology in their screening process (though this may be just an urban myth).
