I’m not sure how I feel about this. I like working with a broad range of personality types.
Certain kinds of behavior are not useful in the workplace. I like
the idea of this test, but I think it is just one test of many that should be evaluated along with others.
Some engineers and leaders thrive on flipping situations that they find initially frustrating into opportunities.
They might appear grumpy for a moment and then elated the next after flipping their frustration into an opportunity.
If we made a filter, that filtered out all grumpy interview candidates, what would be gained and what would be lost? Is this inclusive?
