Is it normal for insurance firms to require applicants to take personality tests as part of the hiring process? I've had to take two different personality tests this week.

Very common in my experience. I would say personality tests are becoming more standard for any job.

Yes I had to take 3 different assessments at a brokerage firm

I'm afraid so. I'm still not clear how they use them though.

I have had to take them for insurance and banking.
