Religious questions on personality test at State Farm?
Due to the results I was denied a job. Do I have a case with the EEOC for employment discrimination because they asked religious questions on a test that would determine my ability to be hired?

What were the religious questions? Personality tests are a bunch of hocus-pocus, the current trend in hiring, and are absolute crap if they are not administered, asessed, and handled properly. I would have refused it without seeing proper credentials beforehand. To me, those tests are deeply invasive, and should be illegal.

How do you know it was the religious question that caused you to be denied a job?

It seems unlikely that a large company like State Farm would set themselves up for such a liability. Why do you consider the question to be religious?

You were only discriminated against if your answers to the religious questions prevented your employment. The trouble is, State Farm would have to admit it. I suggest you contact the EEOC and see what they say.

There have been quite a number of class action lawsuits and suits brought by the EEOC against employers because of the inclusion of religious questions on employment personality tests. For example, in 1989, Target was sued because its test asked questions such as:

1) I believe my sins are unpardonable.
2) Evil spirits possess me sometimes.
3) I feel sure there is only one true religion.
4) I go to church almost every week.

Because Target couldn't provide a compelling reason why its test had to ask these questions, it chose to pay a multi-million dollar settlement. This story is not at all unique.

I'd say yes unless you were applying for a job at a church!


Curious George
Maybe

Just be sure you have everything documented because you're the one that has to show burden of proof. Make sure of your statute of limitations. Don't let to much time pass. Good Luck.

I can't imagine a large company like State Farm using religious questions on a personality test. I have taken these tests before (worked for State Farm but never had to take a personality test) and there was never any type of religious questions on them. The tests are surprisingly accurate if you are relaxed when taking them and answer honestly. I read the results for the last one I took and was shocked at how on the mark it was.

If I were you I would contact State Farm and asked them the reason for not hiring you. Tell them that you believe it was due to the questions on the test and ask them if they would be willing to show you the results. You may be surprised at the results.

I've never seen anybody asking about religion in any application for a Job, I think if they did ask anything about it it is wrong. It is nobody business what you believe in or not.

It is illegal to deny employment based on race, gender, of religious affilations, so unless they can prove you weren;t hired for another reason
