I agree with a lot of what you say, but I still maintain that they are a tad un necesary as a good interviewer should be able to filter out the nutters and get a handle on the sort of personality that he or she is looking for. I can understand them being used as 'justification' to hire some one, particularily if it does not work out, but that's surely not a good reason either.
The usefulness of the test surely becomes questionable when you get companies training you to pass them. Don't tell me they change your personality as that would be rediculous.
btw, I don't have a problem doing them, just remain to be convinced of their benefit.
