On Filling Out Personality Tests For Jobs

[nepenthe]

 Since the start of my job search, I’ve run into a number of businesses which make everyone apply online and require a personality test. They say not to think, but go with the answer that first occurs to you. How unfortunate for me that my brain does not come with an off switch.

 

 

1. You prefer to work alone.

 

Strongly Agree

Agree

Disagree

Strongly Disagree

 

            I prefer TO GET THE JOB DONE. Are you kidding me? The only people who prefer NOT to work alone are slackers who want somebody who prefers to work alone to do their job for them. Or you work for Google.

 

2. People cannot be trusted.

 

Strongly Agree

Agree

Disagree

Strongly Disagree

 

Why do you think sane people lock their doors at night?

 

3. You get angry when courts let guilty criminals go free.

 

Strongly Agree

Agree

Disagree

Strongly Disagree

 

Apparently, Gotham P.D. is trying to narrow their search for the Batman. I’d like to point out to the good service members of Gotham how unlikely it is that caped crusaders will apply for a job at Boarders.
 

 

So far, my job search has resulted in:

One slice of cake

One piece of chocolate (from See’s Candy)

Several lipstick samples.
