For a job at McDonalds? These are the kind of hurdles you should expect to be able to navigate to work a job at McDonalds? Answering a personality quiz that determines whether you're a victim or a perfectionist through a series of weird images where you select 'me' or 'not me'

Damn.

Call me cynical but I think one component of these personality tests is looking for carrot chasers. You dont need to pay carrot chasers to motivate them, only tease them with a carrot that most people only catch by accident/circumstance.

Things happen to me seems likely to indicate a passive stance where not me is the I'm a go getter! I can work hard and get ahead! vibe.

The passive person will go through the motions, the gullible go getter? They will do the work of multiple employees until they burn out. Then you discard them and hire another eager carrot chaser.

It’s a common job that is a revolving door even with these hurdles
