In terms of career coaching, or more specifically, as Veterans, how do you personally feel about taking assessments, and taking tests?

I took photo during 2012 Marine Week, in Cleveland, Ohio.
Thank you, LTC!

I think this is a double edged sword. I feel that the idea for these assessment tests help place an individual in the right job within the company when used properly. It can also be used to weed people, not just veterans, out of the company all together.

I was in civilian management and been through HRs contracted pscho babble assessment centers. They have a purpose in EEOC compliance. It is to quantify qualitative measures.

Thank you for the input. As one Veteran remarked earlier, I think we can tend to take offense to the implication that civilian employers don't have enough confidence in our training, or experience, and how both directly relate their vacant positions. Obviously, in some cases, it's a matter of legal compliance, and regulatory statutes, e.g., health care professional licenses, etc.

Think about this:
The military does the same type testing for recruits, bandsmen, WO Canidates, Cadets, and direct commission officers.
