    I got incisive as my weakness which I can imagine is probably the worst thing you can get a weakness in. I am wondering if the weaknesses are based off of the SJ type question or if it was the assessment as whole including critical thinking. Anyways I am not too optimistic about those results.

    For me it was one of the maths questions. The answer was just not in the multiple choice options I just used the answer closest to the number that I got.

    I’m doing withers’ test and I am SOOO sure their multiple choice options are wrong for one of the questions. There are also grammatical errors in the questions themselves 😂😂😂😂
