Job personality surveys

barc0debaby - 3-25-2009 at 04:21 PM

There are many ridiculous and insane questions in job personality test, with vague double meanings, but this one I just took has the funniest questions I've ever been asked.

"I believe that most people have never used marijuana illegally."

"With my luck, I will most likely have an accident soon"

"I am afraid of getting injured at work"

"I sometimes have thoughts that I would not like other people to know about"

"There is little I can do to avoid tripping and falling at work"

"Within the last three years, what is the nearest total dollar amount of money, goods, or other things you have taken from work without permission"

I know what they are trying to get at, but come on. There has to be some inhuman entity that puts together these things. Of course the economy is in the shitter when corporations are so out of touch with humanity.

I was filling out a Target application online yesterday and they wanted to know if I would allow them to run a credit check on me as well as a criminal background check if they offered me a job! A credit check?! Seriously?!?! For a job??!

You should check out some law enforcement application surveys. Talk about crazy questions, but they say they have a purpose.

They sure do, and that purpose is to piss me off.

In Halifax, to work for the city you have to take a lie detector test where they ask you all sorts of fucked up questions, like, "Have you ever had sex with an animal?". There was a big stink about it a couple months back.

HA!

I don't know, but I was wondering that myself. What if I have had sex with a goat, but I don't lie? Do I get the job for answering honestly, or not get the job cuz I'm a fuckin' freak?

since it is "new scotland" i'd think they'd be a little flexible on that point :smilegrin:
