If I have a doctor's diagnosis, could I opt out of the dreaded personality test?
I am 54 years old & have never had a problem getting a job. However in these times the only way to get a job is to apply on line and most of the companies I'm applying for require a "personality test". I think I have Asperbergers syndrome. It's not something that was recognized when I was in school and as an adult I have developed coping mechanisms.
If I were to be tested & have this diagnosed, would employers waive my taking this test?

Honestly, you will probably encounter more prejudice having the label of 'Aspergers syndrome' than if you just took the test...even if you are identified as having some learning deficiencies. Besides, depending on what kind of personality test they give you, your Aspergers may not show through at all. All of the personality tests that I have taken for jobs are more questions like,"Do you feel like you work well with others?" or "How would you handle a situation with an angry customer?" It's really easy to see what the 'right' answers are.

You'd probably never get to that point. If the test is part or te online application, and you skip it, the computer will just discard your application as incomplete.
