Goldman Sachs is going to start putting its prospective recruits through a personality test. Those who succeed will need to display personality traits similar to the high performers it’s hired already. From this point of view, you might want to know what those high performers are like.
Helpfully, therefore, Goldman just published some survey data on the features and foibles of its recent summer interns. Like last year’s intern survey data, it’s an attempt to show the world what GS interns are like as people. It also shows which programming languages they think are important (Python) and what they think is going to have the biggest impact on the world (machine learning).
You too might think machine learning is the next big thing, but that won’t necessarily make you right for GS. Using the results to the bank’s survey, we have concocted a test to devise your true suitability. Click on the questions below and all will be revealed.
