Where I worked your job depended on passing the Moss / Poss test. The highest score was 15 and a passing score was 9. Took all day to take. Stupid questions from what i remember of it. I wanted that job, high pay, great benefits, and excellent pension, so thought I'll answer these questions like I was ready to lay down my life for this job and admired those in authority. LOL I worked for the company until I retired.

If the candidate tests strong for leadership and they have enough leaders, they may not consider the candidate a good fit for what they need at the moment. This test would confirm whatever else they know from the interviews, I suspect.

Yes, the corporations are so 'new woke' that many never get to the second interview. My neighbor said her son made slight changes to his appearance, his attitude, and asked to have proper pronouns for himself. He said how he kept a straight face during it all deserved an oscar. He got the job and promptly went back to being himself. He has gotten several promotions in a short time. He would have never made it to the second interview as many he knew were excellent employees never did. He said the company is trying to combat the 'quiet quitting' the newer employees are practicing. He said they should have seen that coming.

Since the original question was posted eleven years ago, I'm wondering if this test is still used. Things have changed a lot in the world of HR and job interviews. One response sounded like it was a psychic reading.

Probably changed the name of the test. Moss/Poss has changed but still the same format. Do they still give the test for working at the Post Office? I forgot what it is called. I remember having to take that as a Senior in HS if we were 18, to apply for a job there. I did pass the thing but went to work at a newspaper instead. I thought it would be more fun. I was too young to think of benefits and job security. . Several of my classmates went to work right out of HS for the post office and retired from it.
