I had to take a personality assessment (Caliper) yesterday at the company's office. The questions amounted to 75-80 and 1/3 of the exam asked me from a list of 4 words, which I most and least related to. So one question had the words: likeable, resilient, fatigue, recluse. This was a rather hard test! I chose resilient and recluse. The 2/3 of the exam asked those what number comes next and analogy questions such as 4,5,10,20,? etc. The final part was really weird..one question asked - The world today is soon to collapse, and we must prepare for the inevitable. And then I had to choose if I agreed or disagreed...another question was today's young people need to learn some more manners.
Like able and resilient are the correct answers. Even if you hate people and love working alone in interviews you are always a team player and exude personality.Grammy award performances are what interviews are made for.
What are the idiotic companies coming to where they don't want a loner/recluse/nose to the grindstone/no time for small talk employee? Most loner/introvert types are extremely driven, productive, knowledgable and GET STUFF DONE!!!.
If we had more of them, maybe companies wouldn't be the shape their in now. With nothing getting done, people chit chatting all day with upper management, and providing window dressing and show pony mentalities yet accomplish NOTHING
Some of the most social/outgoing/kiss butt/ Show pony employees Ive ever worked with are some of the most USELESS employees Ive ever seen . They provide all this window addressing/ and talk about how great they are/ yet provide NOTHING of real value. Of course, these type are generally thrown to management positions and they couldn't "manage" their way out of a paper bag. Some of the best employees Ive ever seen are introverted.
Im not saying you need all introverts around but a few is actually smart to have if you are in management. Bring a bunch of outgoing extroverts to the workplace and very little gets done except chit chat.
You also don't need to worry about constantly keeping an eye on the introverts. In most case, you know they are getting things done. They don't need to be monitored every minute of the day
Unclear from the post if "recluse" was selected as a word the OP least related to.
In which case "resilient" was the wrong choice. No employer wants an employee who's going to crumple to the floor in tears at the least bit of criticism.

The post jumped around so much that it was unclear if the OP was referring to a single question that asked for "most" and "least" in the same answer, or if they were referring to multiple questions.

Resilient and Likeable would be the correct choices, if the poster was supposed to choose two words that related to them. Nowhere in the post indicated the option to choose two words that related to most.
