Merill Edge Financial Solutions Advisor Assessment

Has anyone taken the online assessment for the Merrill lynch (Merrill edge) financial solutions advisor role? I failed this and was denied the job. It asked personality questions like..."How important is money to you in a job, Is it less important or most important", and a lot of "How outgoing are you...a little or a lot?

Then there was a section where it asked sales questions and you need to pick the most appropriate response out of 4 answers. A client calls in and asks questions about a fund. Do you show him a hypothetical chart of what his money would look like in 10 years or do you guide him through the fact sheet for the fund and send him additional information.
