Job interview experience- is this normal nowadays or not?

Post date: 2020-11-23 15:45:18

I recently had an interview for an entry level technical position at a Teapot Testing and Certification company. The pre interview involved taking an OPQ (occupational personality questionnaire) and a large chunk of the interview was devoted to "Critical Behaviors for Success" questions, which the interviewer suggested that I was "probably familiar with, most companies use them." Is this so?

I was a little taken aback by the interview leaning so heavily on this sort of stuff, rather than verifying my technical skills, experience, etc. Due to working for 20+ years at a company and owning my own business for a while, I've only had perhaps 5 or 6 interviews in my middle aged life, so it's possible I'm just not aware of How Things Are These Days. It feels like a bit of corporate B.S. red flag to me, but maybe I need a reality check?
