what do you think of those quizs prospective employers hand out? The ones where you are more or less like X?

 

[KillahBee]

They are usually somewhat correct, but of course they fall short as no written test can describe the true testicle-ness of a man such as I.

Don't you think they are pointless I mean you can say you are more like X but really not you know what I mean?

Know what you mean. Besides, who doesn't lie on them anyway?

They are pointless if someone lies, but I think they can be useful if they are used as part of a larger eveluation process. In grad school we actually took tests like that (Myers Briggs) with our group that we worked with for our senior thesis - it was interesting to see that some of us were complete opposites in terms of how we organize, study, learn, and approach task management.

Well I must have passed they are asking for my refences.

i think most people lie when they take those tests. if they do tell the truth, then i believe that they can be a helpful tool in selecting a new employee.

 

[d3track]

i've never actually had to take one of those...........

 

[chewyxrage]

I took one and one of the questions was :

"How many physical fights have you been in in your life?"

You tell me what young man isn't going to lie on that one

"Uh yeah...I've been in over 15 fights....but I'm not violent, I swear!"

Those things are totally bunk! No on is really honest with their answers anyway. People answer the questions based on how they "would like" others to see them.
If employers want a true test, have them give the test to your best friend and worst enemy to evaluate you. Then average them out and you got YOU in a nutshell!!
