You asked a question completely irrelevant to my thread. If you were interviewing me, I would ask why don't you ask the important questions. Compared to my entire post, the detail you picked out was equivalent to asking what I think about the weather today. Confidence is important, and we did not have the same upbringing. Some of us were forced to age faster. Mod cut.
He did ask the important question; it wasn't irrelevant at all, and you proved his point by your attitude.
Bottom line, they weeded you out. You can lie all you want on the personality test, but your combativeness comes out just in the way you post here, so it's probably going to come across in your talking with the interviewers.
Work on your attitude, then tell the truth on the personality test.

You say that now, but earlier on you were telling people who disagreed with you to "get off my thread". You clearly do have a bit of an entitled attitude; you don't handle rejection well and you are vengeful toward a company for not hiring you. You even said you wouldn't have accepted an offer from this company anyway, yet you continue to rant about how inadequate their hiring practices are. They've moved on; shouldn't you?
I agree. Angry and bitter in an interview will only get you one outcome: not being hired. Move on.

The point is that OP was not "treated like absolute garbage".
OP did not like the fact that there were 4 interviews, a psych test, and a generic rejection email. None of that is being treated like garbage. Impersonal, sure. But nothing more.
The stingy expense reimbursement and allegedly low pay is not really related to the recruiting process. Nobody forced him to work for this company or accept these wages. It was described and rejected. No mistreatment exists.
In this case the hiring process worked perfectly. The company dodged a bullet by rejecting an immature whiner. The OP dodged a bullet by avoiding a company that would not pay him what he wanted. All is good in this scenario.
I do agree with the OP on one point. Reimbursing for only 50 miles when a typical day will require more is not acceptable. The job offer should have been rejected on this one point alone.
Sure he was treated like garbage. There is absolutely no reason to bring someone back for FOUR interviews. It's ridiculous, ineffective, a waste of time, a waste of resources, and totally uncalled for.
To not hire him after four interviews is even worse. Again, as a hiring manager I knew within 10 minutes whether I wanted to hire someone or not.

Telling the truth on a personality test guarantees you won't get an interview.

Its true but the posters rebutting this will never admit it.

When it is your business, you can decide what the hiring process is.
Actually, I think it's the ones that agree with the OP that have trouble getting and/or keeping jobs because of this attitude.
Puh-leaze.
What attitude? That they don't want to be mistreated?
