BCG pymetrics result is not accurate at all and very opposite to my MBTI result - pymetrics says I’m a risk taker, not experimental in learning, working equally hard on all tasks, and using my gut to make decisions. I don’t think I’m a consultant material based on pymetrics😅

Pymetrics isn't perfect, but MBTI is even more BS.

If you'd like to do a real (scientific) personality test, I can recommend some.

Awesome; the best one is at the website hexaco.org.

The gut vs facts distinction isn't part of scientific models of personality. It's much more dependent on the situation than other elements are. For example, all the pymetrics games are timed. That means they're looking at how you decide under pressure.

I wouldn't think too much of it honestly.

I don’t believe those tests measure anything well. I’m not sure how much BCG relies upon them (they can at least weed out the people who never do them in the given amount of time), but it would be nice to see their perspective.

There's an element to pymetrics that is p much a raw IQ test. I find it hard to believe they don't flag bottom scores and top scores

McKinsey 🐠, any intel on the Practice Manager role? I've had a phone screen and been invited to interview, but I know little about the role. Sounds mostly internal, but they can deploy PMs to projects if needed. How is pay and WLB?

Are there certain industries that lend themselves closer to pure strategy projects?
