Ask a Lawyer: Inappropriate Questions During Job Interview/Assessment
I interviewed for new job. To be considered for
the position, I had to take an assesment and
personality test. The personality test asked very
inrtusive questions related to sexual orientation,
religous practices and mental and physical state
being. I can't see how this is allowed and what it
has to do with the position I was applying for. The
position was retail in nature. Is this legal?
