One of the last sad timewasting activities to which I was subjected at my old permie boss was a personality test and workshop along with 10 other colleagues, where we were each given colours representing our personality after answering a list of about 100 questions, which I took seriously for about 5 questions and then just crossed the multiple choice answers in a visually appealing pattern. Result was RED in 'first position'.

Found a similar test on t'internet with this description of 'red';
RED represents passion and energy. Red in the first position means you are impulsive, sexy and have a will to win. You are a good leader. You want to expend your horizons and live a life to the full. Red in the seventh or eighth position means your desire for life and thirst for adventure have become less.

I made myself even less popular with management and especially HR than I already was by expressing my skepticism and calling the 'workshop leader' a quack.

Wilmslow isn't real, he's one of Sasguru's sockies.

Not if it's coaching in the skill of making minutiae seem duller than usual.

You lie - I know he's real. I know people that work with him
