Hi, it is interesting to read the discussions here.

I got a call from one of the big4 and they emailed me a preliminary assessment, the assessment looks like a personality test and I answered it with my first instinct as the instruction required me to do so. At first I thought the result will only be referred by the HR to understand more about myself but I am extremely surprise to receive an email from them replying that the firm will not proceed my application anymore the following day after the assessment. The questions were all MCQ, very subjective with no exact answers for each questions. I am wondering how a firm can judge a person by only referring to the result of a 20 minutes test. Its quite upsetting... Anyone knows what are the problems or reasons behind this? I am just a little curious about it. Thanks

Means that Big 4 firm does not like to recruit people with your personality lo.

Some firms like to recruit competitive ppl who are very driven. Some firms like more easy going ppl. So happened that you are not what this Big 4 firm is looking for.

Instead of being upset, think of it being a blessing in disguise because even if you got it, you may be miserable due to not blending in well.

Yeah I agree with that too!

I applied for my internship last time. Drop my resume at their booth and they called me back after 1-2 weeks if I'm not wrong. Interview process was quite easy (might be because of the position that I'm applying). Had some basic computer skill test and then followed by face to face interview. Overall quite casual and ok
