Bad: Writing a nonsensical personality test that ostensibly attempts to select for individuals with a certain background, while actually doing no such thing.
Worse: Making it a pass/no-pass test where if you get any "wrong" answers, you are permanently ejected from the hiring process regardless of education, skill, or in-person interview results.
Egregious: Distributing the answer key by phone to members of a specific DEI action group and telling them to keep quiet about it.
This is not "overblown," it's literally what happened to the FAA hiring process. Some of the most outspoken critics of this scheme are members of that DEI group who were told to cheat on the test, refused to cheat, didn't get the job due to not cheating, and now have little hope of ever landing the job they trained for.
