I've noticed a lot of tech companies now starting to adopt psychometric testing. So you might be bloody good at balancing an AVL tree on a whiteboard but a pretty difficult person to work with so they won't hire you. We place a lot of emphasis on psychometric testing in combination with how good a candidate is technically. If you fall into the wrong quadrant (generally indicating you are difficult to work with) we won't hire you.
You also won't hire me and many others because we run as fast as we can from the rare companies that give personality tests. The moment that gets mentioned in a job description, I laugh and close the tab. My view is that if somebody thinks a bullshit personality test is a good way to assess a candidate, they're the crazy ones, and they may as well propose a polygraph too.
