Great content, not great production

I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary and its contents. It's very eye-opening and definitely worth a watch, especially if you're in the employment market. There were many interesting examples and points of view presented, so I'd say it's quite a well-rounded production. However the technical watchability is rather poor, the music is way too loud and makes it very difficult to understand the speakers. I nearly turned it off because I couldn't hear the speakers properly. Overall, however, definitely worth a watch.

Insightful and well intentioned

Never quite reaches it's climax with misleading stories to make an unnecessary narrative. Wish it had focused on either sensationalism or pure information but it tries to straddle both and falls short. Not really sure what the point of the film is. It raises several good ones but focuses on one major personality test by showing its impact on an individual while that individual was not affected by that test at all. Intermixed is random history of the main test and an woman who is upset personally disorders exist. I don't disagree with her but I don't quite see how her part fits. Then they have random other people that never really add anything except to show that many people believe in these tests too much. Hopefully no one takes this as factual.
