United uses the Hogan (HPI), DAL uses the MMPI.
At UAL, one will get the link to take the Hogan BEFORE even interviewing.
At DAL, one takes the MMPI/psych eval on day 2 of the interview process. Exclusive of the SSP's if I'm not mistaken. DAL day 1 uses the math/cog, etc before the F2F.

Probably well intentioned (ie looking for safety-conscious team players) but possibly Machiavellian... looking for folks who are just happy to get paid to fly and will roll over for the company.
Or just simply the old adage of "any a-hole can fly a plane, as well as be taught to fly a plane however the company wants. But you CAN'T un-teach someone from being an a-hole".
With HR getting more involved in the process, it's more about what kind of overall employee one will be. IE; a problem child OUTSIDE the cockpit as well as inside. Excessive sick time use, rude to fellow coworkers (FA's, gate, ramp, schedulers), cant' represent the company well/rude to customers, whatever......
