With that said, I guess you basically need to be who they want you to be, unfortunately.

I agree with Mrs. Peel. 

I'm also not so sure I agree with this portion of the SOTT article:
--- Quote ---Bottom line, don't think...just answer, and do it quickly
--- End quote ---

Going back to check your answers for consistency may also help since there's likely to be more than one question asking the same thing.

NewOrleans:
Well, HowToBe, congratulations on aiming for this job. I think you have the right intuition: look at the answers from their point of view, not your unvarnished honesty. An employee, in their eye, is not usually a complex thinker, but simply a doer, so strongly agree/disagree just might be the answer they're looking for. Black and white kind of answers. Simple.
Let us know how it goes.

My wife just got one of these tests sent by her employer, apparently the "corporation" wants all the employees to take it.  I took a look at it and noticed is asking lots of very personal questions.

The employee is asked to rate themselves in a number of categories. I do not see the reason for the test because she has been employed with the same employer for more than seve years.

An acquaintance of mine had taken a "psycho test" few yeas ago when she applied for a job in bank. She wasn't hired - but she knew well someone on employer side who told her that she had the best result but they were looking for someone more kind of dull...  :scared:
Argh those banksterz

liffy:
I guess you'll figure it out if you really want this job.

On a less serious note; your nickname combined with this topic is rather funny  :lol:
