Online Application Questioniars.

[BnetGamer77]

So I'm now living in a new state, and as a result I'm job hunting. Turns out, to my surprise at first, more and more places
are using Online Applications now. I've been mixed over the years about them, mainly due to the convenience to fill
them out, but at the cost of not being able to look/talk/shake hands with a manager.

Yet in the end, the biggest issue I encounter is the end of most online Applications that ask
a certain 50+ questions with multiple answers commonly ranging from "Extremely Agree, Agree, so-so, Disagree, Extremely disagree".

I wouldn't really care much about it, but in the back of my mind, if I don't get a call because of it...
I feel insulted that such a ridiculous test is placed to judge a possible future coworker. I was originally
torn to answer them honestly, which I thought mattered, and would stand out that this person isn't just
spamming, "YES NO YES!" on silly questions. Yet I've heard they are used to filter out "ok" workers with
ones that are extremely perfect at the job they're applying for, or at least say they are.

My question is do you think these questionnaires matter to the potential interview/hiring in a small / large way?
And if yes,(in regards to large enough it may limit your odds at getting a call/interview) what advise do
your purpose in answering them to increases one chances to "score" high in them?

I feel truthfully that I can sell my self in a sincere way in an interview, but I can't settle for this paranoid
feeling that some ridiculous questionnaires will hinder my odds at getting an interview, so I'd rather cruise
through them to know confidently I can at least offer a work-prone/trustworthy employee to them once they have an interview with me.

I think they only matter if you answer something extremely wrong, which will bring up red flags.. like if the answer is (do you believe stealing as little as $5 is ok) and you put Strongly agree.. that might cause for concern.

I hate those things though =/ the whole process of job hiring in our society is fucked.

It's said that people are beggining to check Facebook accounts before hiring someone around here, so it's as stupid as that.
