Is it simple to guess? I always assumed if you went too hard with those answers they'd assume you were lying and reject you.
Maybe this is why I never got the mcdonalds call back last time I was layed off.

Where's the line between "lying to pass a test" and "fitting in to a community?" Is there not some element of functioning well with other people as a group that requires us to repress certain individual desires and traits for the good of achieving a common goal? Nobody actually likes working fast food, but customers feel better when employees act less surly and more complacent.
I too was rejected from McDonald's.
My wife is incredibly intelligent. She has a master’s degree and is working on her doctorate (definitely smarter than me). I still laugh about how, 12 years ago, she got rejected from a summer clerk job at a grocery store because she failed the online personality test. If anything, she was wildly overqualified. That store definitely missed out.
I’m surprised at your comment. I really doubt a person with a high level of intelligence is a good match for a grocery clerk job. That is one of the reasons the personality tests exist.

Apologies for the nitpick, but being rejected for personality is (essentially) mutually exclusive from (over)qualification.
