A (possible) way to pass the unicru test (updated)

*Follow-up to my unicru post*

I think I have a few ideas on how to approach this test. I found a website that asks these questions that are pretty much the same as the unicru test. And, unlike the unicru test, this site tells you what your personality actually is.

This could be helpful in several ways. Let me give you a few approaches as to what you can do about this.

1. Take this test, answering the questions honestly, to see what your personality trait actually is (it will give you your strongest trait). This may tell why you’re not attracting the interest of prospective employers. OR, it may also help you to see what kinds of jobs you should be going after.

2. After you take the test, have someone else (who knows you well) take the test for you and see if the answer turns out differently. (After all, others don’t perceive us the way we perceive ourselves.) See if this answer is more favorable. If so, the next time you take a unicru test, have this person do the test for you.

3. This would be, perhaps, the most interesting. Here is where I suggest a way to manipulate the test. After you’ve taken the test (honestly), see if you can take the test again, answering the questions differently, (but that are consistent with each other) and coming out with a different personality trait. (If you’ve taken the unicru test, you know they ask the same question more than once, usually in an opposite way. For example, first they’ll ask you, “I like to be the center of attention.” Then later you’ll see, “I don’t like to be the center of attention.”)

***Update: It works. I took the personality test twice. The first time I answered honestly and the result was “introspection”. The second time I answered against my intuition and came out “sociability”. So it is possible to tweak the results of this test.***

Still, I think the most practical approaches are 1 and 2. At least you want to know the answer that the employers are receiving.

Now then, here is the website. Mind you there 485 questions. They do go quickly, but make sure you have a chunk of time to do this. If you’re choosing strategy 2 listed above, maybe have them take this test at the same time on a different computer so you can match your results at the same time.

Mind you also that there are a bunch of survey things after you answer the questions. Just opt to skip them. You’ll eventually come to a page that says “Test Results” and to the right, you’ll see a word that describes “your greatest personality trait”.

Here you go.

I am hoping for one of three outcomes from my strategies. 1. It will help you know your personality and seek out appropriate jobs. 2. You will find a way to “pass” this test. 3. If either my second or third strategy works, I hope to render unicru useless for employers.
