When I graduated (hard to believe, I know) I went for a permie role as an IT Manager with a large investment bank in the city. The whole thing last for a day and comprised a series of tests and interviews. I passed the programming test no problem. I passed the math test no problem. I passed the logic and reasoning tests. Somehow I even managed to pass the team working test, which is amazing given how physically repulsive and obnoxious I am.
Finally we were given a personality test. Being young, naive and fresh cheeked, I actually believed them when they stated, "there are no right or wrong answers in this test". Right, thought I, this will be an interesting chance to learn about myself, so I'll answer all the questions in a brutally honest way. What a fecking tw@t
It goes without saying that I flunked the personality test. According to the computer analysis I was some sort of psychopathic maverick with a complete inability to listen to others. I was not offered the job.
Strange really, because my subsequent experience of management indicates that's a perfect matchLast edited by voron; 5 October 2005, 14:57.
