At two separate place where I am seeking employment, they asked me to take a personality test. No biggie. But instead of just the personality trait answers I was expecting, there were also analogies and actual math questions. Were they testing my personality or my intelligence?

Both. They wanted to test your analytical skills and common sense as well as your personality and ethical attitude.
In any job you need basic math skills and they want to make sure you have them.

I agree with the answers given. Because I'm a nurse, "math" (as in drug calculations) is an integral part of an employment application. But I have never been asked to take a personality test. That's a thought, though.

Both to show skills and personalities, they need to know your problem solving ability.
