i need your help.
i am ass deep in a five hour, 430 question, psychological profiling exam. the company wants to measure our hidden salesmanship potential.
instead of simply asking an employee "do you have any sales skills or interest in sales?" the exam disguises the question in seemingly non-sequitur ways. here is an actual sample, when watching movies, i typically do not recognize the significance of evidence or behaviors that turn out to be critical. agree or disagree? now imagine answering the same question worded slightly different 400 more times. now imagine putting the barrel of a shotgun in you mouth.
so, this is where i need your help, the following questions have stumped me.
1. you are on a train traveling 45 mph. a shirtless man drops a 5 dollar bill on the floor. he looks at you and says "water is to ice as diarrhea is to loaf", strongly agree or strongly disagree?
2. you fear a magic monkey with golden testicles will explode from your butt and your peers will giggle. strongly agree or strongly disagree?
3. you give three cookies to carol and five cookies to bob. how many animal skulls under your sofa? strongly agree or strongly disagree?
oh, and if it helps your answers, this is not the kind of test i want to do well on. in fact, the worse is better. i would be devastated to find i have greater potential in sales than design.
actually i believe the real test is to see if you finish the test. anyone who can dedicate free five hours to such an exercise in stupidity must have very little to do and is considered expendable.
