A Unique take on the Personality test –

Gaining employment requires an interesting, yet challenging proposition these days …

I have read where companies use modern ways to decipher the abilities and potential pitfalls for applicants.

Giving potential candidates a personality test is a good way to provide insights into a person’s way of thinking.

Especially when there are no right or wrong answers. The best results come from honest answers while someone attempting to fool the test can be easily detected.

Even a simple search engine inquiry can yield a lot of good information.

It is amazing that how some believe their posts to facebook is somehow harmless or will never be seen. Like posting pictures of their partying habits !

When given a this-or-that choice can give insight to how and why we choose a particular direction when we encounter a fork in the road.

This is my version of a personality test:

—

1) Ginger or Mary Ann?

2) Leno or Letterman?

3) Out of the following groups –

What one member of each group would you rather hang out with?

(Circle ONE in each group)
