About 10 years ago I took a version of the Omhnia and later was hired for the job. A year of so after, my bosses secretary whom he and I shared for work purposes showed me a copy of the results of the tesst. It pegged me to a tee-even to the point where it had me under stress-at the time I was splitting up from my ex-it was incredible how it was an accurate reflection of me. Now at the same time it really didn't indicate how well or poorly I would fare in my role, so I really wondered about what its purpose was and never figured out how it was worth the $1k or so we paid for each one. And by the way, it ended up being the tipping point of our analysis in hiring others into the office. If their Omnia was good, they were hired. If however, it was poor or marginal, then it was more than enough to offset a great interview.
