Unicru Exam Analysis (LONG) This test, like the famous MMPI, is designed to discern personality from a bank of questions aimed at specific themes. By asking questions negatively and positi vely in many ways, they hope to pull common themes from the bank of questions. T he MMPI, like this test, was an abject failure at its goals. It has long since b een discredited at discerning personality. In short, this test is snake oil. However, how they work is not intuitive, so here is a short lesson followed by m y (probably imperfect) analysis and thoughts. The idea here is for others to get a sense of how these tests are put together so if/when they change the test que stions the method is still valid. These tests ask questions about certain themes (here diligence, intelligence, ex trovertedness, agreeableness, mental stability, evenness of temper, and reliabil ity). They ask these over and over again 8 or 10 times in random order. Some of these questions they ask in a "positive" or forward order such as "I like all ca ndy." Here, agree might be called for. (SA being wrong as there is an "ALL" in t he phrase. This might indicate dishonesty in answering.) They will later ask a n egative question based on this or a loose similar idea, such as "I seldom eat ca ndy." Answering agree here would flag you as deceptive, as your answers don't ma tch. It should be disagree, to match. (Or SD) The problem with these tests arises because of the complexity of communicating s hort phrases out of context. What if I didn't LIKE candy? I might fail it due to personal prejudice. This is why the MMPI and all similar tests are no longer used for 'personality' testing by serious scientists. They do, however, if properly created (which this one is, of course, not) and balanced TEND to indicate when someone has certain mental aberrations. That being said, I took a few hours to go over the entire test given and explain my answers and illustrate the correlates between the positive and negative ques tions. I get rather snarky sometimes, and want to explain in advance that nd to insult anyone having to take these exams, but was expressing or so callous an attempt to deny people their rightful chance at a flawed testing schema. It is immoral and against their ethics as a is also selling snake oil. I didn't inte my loathing f job due to a scientist. It

You expect to succeed in whatever you do: SA I would select agree, because it is positive and not unrealistic. You are good at taking charge of a group A I would select strongly agree, because that is the way I really am. However, the y do NOT want people that take charge. They want good stumbling stupid little sl aves because that is what they are. So select SA.(If this sounds perverse, remem ber they re stupid. This test will not make sense.) You keep calm when under stress SA Common sense. They don t want people that freak out under stress because they re planning to work the ever lasting shit out of you and make your life a living h ell. SA. That means lie. You are somewhat of a thrill-seeker SD Common sense. They don t want thrill seekers or anything else that might scare t hem. They suck and are stupid. D or SD. Probably SD.
You like to be alone SD LOL better answer SD to this one. They want people people since this is retail. You are well aware of your inner feelings SA Hm. I d say agree. Almost no one is really aware of their inner feelings. Self i ntrospection is an anti-psycho question. And a stupid one. Also tests for egotis m. People are often mean to you SD Noo. SD. This is a question aimed to see if you re neurotic. You get angry more often than nervous SD I d say disagree. This question is attempting to see if you are meek or confront ational. Which do you think they want? Meek. You are supposed to be a slime-suck ing worm, remember? You know when someone is in a bad mood, even if they don’t show it SA This is likely an empathy question. It is bullshit and requires you to answer in a psychotic way. The true answer is ... you can t. It is psychotic to think you know someone else like that, especially a stranger. However, what they re looki ng for is probably Agree or Strongly Agree. I d probably go with agree. You would like a job that is quiet and predictable SD *sigh* No of course you wouldn t. Remember they perversely want you a meek stupi d outgoing intelligent go-getter. Never mind that those people do not exist or t hey are batshit insane. You choose disagree or strongly disagree. You work hard at what you do SA Common sense. I d say agree if they re looking for the honest answer. Most peopl e believe that they re working well enough. Why the hell would you kill yourself for some crappy job that required you to beat yourself up like this? Agree or s trongly agree. You keep your promises, no matter what SA Honesty test. No one is strongly agree. That s a blatant lie. I d say agree here . However, in their own psychologically-challenged way, it might be SA. Hurts my head to think that though. You work better with your hands than your mind A LOL good luck on this one. It is a query to see if you re smart or stupid. I d g o with disagree. You don t want to be seen as a clutz, but they also want to hir e smart people for nothing too. As if anyone remotely bright would subject thems elves to such an ego kicking. You don’t work too hard because it doesn’t pay off anyway SD LOL for these crappy jobs, of course the answer would be SA!!! But, they don t w ant to hear that and this is another work-hard test. An anti-question to the "Yo u work hard..." one. Disagree or Strongly Disagree. However you answered the pre vious work question. You love to be with people SA Extrovert test. In retail you have to be extroverted, so answer the opposite of the way you did for "You would like a job that is quiet..." above, either agree or disagree. You love to listen to people talk about themselves SA This is a tough one, but to be empathic and a good listener you have to listen. So this is agree or strongly agree. I d go with agree. You hate to give up if you can’t solve a hard problem SA
This is a tricky question. I would imagine in retail they don t want you wasting time with something when you could be doing something else. However, they asked a smart question above. I d answer agree. SA might be too strong here. It shoul d match the opposite of what you said under the hands/head question above. You prefer to do things alone SD You re a people-person, remember? You love the slack-jawed stumbling piles of cr ap you re forced to work with. Go with it. Empathy away! Answer the same as you answered under the "You love to listen" bullshit question above. When under pressure, you think about This is another question in the same Choose the opposite of what you did ven though that is the stupid way to
all that can go wrong SD line as "You keep calm under stress" above. under the prior one. I d go with SD here. E answer. Remember they want you to lie.
It is easy for you to ignore small problems SD Attention to detail question. I d be tempted to disagree here, but I think SD is the idiot-answer they re looking for. You feel lively and energetic at parties SA Empathy question. Answer the same as all other empathy questions. Answer the sam e as the "Love to Listen" question above. You are a quiet person SD You didn t like the quiet job. You like noisy places and parties. You like heari ng morons spew inane crap at you and all for a crappy wage. So, as an extrovert you choose the same as the other extrovert questions. SD. You don’t like to be interrupted when you are doing something SD This is along the same vein as the question above on "You hate to give up if you can t..." except this is an opposite. (Probably designed to test for obsessives .) It is a given that you will be interrupted a billion times in crappy retail p ositions. SD probably. When someone is rude to you, you get over it quickly SA In retail you re going to get your ass kicked from customers and from the manage morons. Extroverted worms, like you re supposed to be, let stuff blithely slide off their hollow little psyches. So should you. SA might be too strong so I d go with agree. You do not always feel hopeful about your future SD This is a depression question. No one wants depressed people. Because... anyone working the worst job since porn-theater cleanup for minimum wage with idiot coworkers and minimal pay would be depressed would they? Of course not. You re upb eat. However, SD is pretty psychotic and I d be tempted to go with disagree. When you need to, you take it easy at work SD Of course you re a hard working monkey for minimum pay! What were they thinking? SD. You attract attention to yourself SD Hm. Histronics need not apply. SD. You are a smart, unassuming, outgoing, eager, shallow, meek but aggressive little drone, aren t you? Yep. SD. You believe that you would be very successful at a sales job SA Good lord. Optimism question. Answer the same way you did for the "You expect to succeed" question. I would ve answered agree. You finish the work you have to do, even when you’re tired or bored SA Well, since they re going to work the shit out of you, and it is going to be mor
e boring than watching an entire weekend of Leave it to Beaver, that answer woul d be... SA. Total bullshit, but that s what they want. You are proud of the work you do at school or on a job SA Work ethic question. SA is really the only answer to this one. Not taking pride in your work makes you sloppy. You look forward to going to work (or school) SA Of course this is a test for liking your future crappy no-end job-hell for minim um pay. I d say agree and not SA. No one really likes going to work all the time . Who knows what answer they re really looking for. You quickly see the solutions to new problems SA This is a test for intelligence. You don t wana be too smart though. Answer the opposite of the "You work better with your hands than your mind." I d agree. (Of course, in reality it d be SA. We don t want to appear TOO smart or egotistical though. Don t want to scare them. Besides, anyone brighter than a mouse would l eave at the first opportunity. Right?) You have no big regrets about your past SA This is a depression question. I know it doesn t look like it, but it is. Depres sed people are hung on the past. You aren t depressed, so you have no big regret s. Agree is realistic, but they might be looking for the more psychotic SA. I d go with agree. Answer the opposite of the "You do not always feel hopeful about your future" question above. In school, you were one of the best students SA Smart-guy question. Of course you were. Answer this like the "You quickly" quest ion above. It bothers you when something unexpected disrupts your day Same question as above in another form. "You don’t like to ou are doing something". Here they want you to lie and say answer is probably either D or A. If you said SA then you SD be interrupted when y SD. However, the real re an OCD fruitcake!
When someone treats you badly, you ignore it SA Same question as above: "When someone is rude to you, you get over it quickly" a nd you should answer it the same way. I said agree. See, positive people let sli ghts roll off because the guy that just peed all over your shoe was probably jus t having a bad day. You like people to notice you A Neurosis or egotism question. Answer the same as you did above: "You attract att ention to yourself". Note the poster would ve missed this one on the test. I d g uess the answer would be either disagree or agree. I d go with disagree. The pro blem with these questions is that they are highly subjective. There IS no correc t answer given the lack of context. On one hand this pair of questions could be seeing if you are introverted since introverted people don t like to be noticed. In which case you would answer agree to both questions. On the other hand they may be looking for neurosis, which would lead you to answer disagree to both. Wh ichever way you answer (and agree might well be correct), you need to answer the same way on both. Not doing so shows "deception". Slow-moving people make you impatient A I think this one is a test for patience and empathy. You don t want to hurry peo ple. I d go with disagree. You often feel nervous about something SD No, you do not. You are confident, remember? Answer SD.
You got mostly good grades in high school SA LOL. Lie. Either agree or SA. This is a smarty question, so even though it makes no sense, answer the same way you would ve for the previous smarty questions. S ince you don t want to be too bright, I d answer Agree. SA sounds too much like bragging. Many people cannot be trusted D Paranoia and neurosis test. The "right" answer is SD. You re upbeat, remember? T winkly-light blows out of your ass. To not trust other people is to somehow stat e that you are not to be trusted. Insane? Of course it is. However, you need to make this answer the same as the other upbeat questions above. (Opposite of the positive questions.) You rarely act without thinking SA Sloppiness question. They don t want sloppy but its pair is harder to identify. On one hand, they could be checking for OCD, which would score SA. On the other hand, a flexible thinker doesn t have to ponder each answer if they ve seen it b efore. The common answer is A or SA. I d go with one of those. Rarely would in dicate SA for me. You have friends, but don’t like them to be too close SD This is an extrovert question. Introverts have a few close friends and extrovert s have many shallow friends. You should answer as positive as you did with the o ther extrovert questions. I d go with SA. You could describe yourself as ‘tidy’ SA Disorderly people make mistakes. You don t make mistakes because you re upbeat, right? I d say SA. In your free time, you go out more than stay home SA Extrovert question. You re out-going so you say SA or A. SA is more indicated here since this is a retail job and they want you to pester the shit out of peop le. Your stuff is often kind of messy SD Disorderly people are bad. Answer the same as the tidy question above. SD, sin ce this is a negative pose question. People have a lot of arguments with you SD Extroverted, positive, agreeable people don t get into many arguments. SD, since you are the proverbial lovable, hard-working, smart-idiot drone they seek. You have a lot of different abilities SA Smart people have lots of abilities and are "flexible", which is a good buzz-wor d for the idiot execs. Either Agree or SA. SA sounds a bit too egotistical and I would answer A. (Same as the other positive smart questions.) Your moods are steady from day to day SA Neurosis question. Answer the same as the other positive neurosis questions. Eit her SA or A. You are lively and talkative SA Extrovert question. Of course you are. Either SA or A. Since this is a sales job , I d go with SA. There are some people you really can’t stand SD Positivity question. Remember: "When someone treats you badly, you ignore it" an d "When someone is rude to you, you get over it quickly". This is the same quest ion. It is a negative question, so you answer it the opposite of the other posit ive questions. I d say disagree.
You do not fake being polite SD At first I thought this one was an extrovert question, because an extrovert woul dn t have to fake being polite. Then I thought about the language (fake is a pre tty strong word. Not pretend, but fake) and I d have to go with SD. I think they re testing to see if you have some vestige of disagreeableness. They want you t o have no backbone, remember. (Another question further down verified this.) You show it when you are in a bad mood SD Of course you don t. You repress it like a good little drone. I d go with SD her e. When things go wrong, it’s hard to control your temper SD You re upbeat and positive, so this indicates you would say SD. ("hard to contro l" is strong language indicating that you might go "out of control", and they do n t want that.) It bothers you when you have to obey a lot of rules SD I like this question. This is a drone question. I d answer SA, but they re looki ng for D or SD. They want to make sure you ll follow all their bull-shit nonsens ical rules. I d go with disagree to leave a vestige of the "free-thinker" in the re, just in case they re that self-delusional. You can argue hard but still keep it friendly SA Tough one, again. In a retail situation they want you agreeable, but extroverted . I d say agree or strongly agree. You would rather not get involved in other people’s problems D In a retail situation, they want extrovertedness. Extroverts want to solve distr essed looking people s problems. Therefore your answer here is SD or D. I d go w ith SD here, since it implies that you want to help people. It is not easy for you to put your ideas in writing SD Intelligence question. It is easy for you to put your ideas into writing. SD. When you are annoyed with something, you say so SD Anger question and agreeableness question. You are a drone. You don t speak out when some fat retard makes you angry by doing something stupid or the idiot mana ger infuriates you with a total lack of respect due a dog. Therefore, you disagr ee or SD. I d go with SD. You were absent very few days from high school SA This one is an attendance and punctuality question. SA is the only answer. You’ve had some disappointments that you’ll never get over SD Same question as "You have no big regrets about your past", but the negative. Yo u answer SD. You follow through on everything that you start SA Finish question. Here, I think I d say either A or SA. I d probably go with A. You feel nervous when there are demands you can’t meet A Tough one. On one hand they want you to be confident, on the other hand, they wa nt you to feel pain over the impossible situations they re going to put you into . I d go with agree here, even though it should be D for extroverts. You think a lot about the worries and stresses you have D You don t worry. This is a bad idea. Answer the same as the other upbeat questio ns. D or SD. (Look at the "You ve had some disappointments" question above.
People’s feelings are sometimes hurt by what you say SD Hard one to guess. Either they are attempting to ask you about the idea that you often say things that hurt people s feelings or they are testing you on your em pathy. In truth, people s feelings ARE sometimes hurt by what you say, unless yo u re a spineless twit. I d say either agree or disagree. My guess, only by the w ay it is phrased, is disagree. SD implies that you have no empathy and SA implie s that you often say stuff that makes people upset or are overly critical. This is a key reason why these tests are useless. You make more sensible choices than careless ones SA This is a question about intelligence. I d go with the same thing. Agree. SA mig ht imply overconfidence. It bothers you a long time when someone is unfair to you SD Extrovert upbeat question. Upbeat people are shallow and everything is someone e lse s problem. So, of course, you re shallow and you say SD. (D is too wishy was hy for this one with LONG and UNFAIR.) You change from feeling happy to sad without any reason SD No. You are not labile. (Learn a new word. Look it up.) You are emotionally stab le. Like everyone else. A good docile sheep. SD. This one is pretty strong too.
You do some things that upset people SD Answer the same as you did in the "People’s feelings are sometimes hurt by what you say" question. With this one, I d have to say they should both be answered a s D or SD. SD is probably the right answer and contraindicates empathy. All hail pathos. When you are done with your work, you look for more to do. SA This is a drone question. Of course, you re a drone. So you answer A or SA. You are always learning about new things SA Same question as "You like to try things that are new and different". Answer it the same way. SA. You are skilled at convincing people SA This one is a tough one. On one side, this might be that they re trying to see i f you re good at conning people and is a question of your honesty. However, posi tive people are stupid, apparently, and so they would see the word convincing as not tricking. And they want you to sell their overpriced crap. So this is eit her A or SA. In this instance I d go with SA. You swear when you argue SD LOL. If you can t figure this one out... No. You never cuss or swear or fart or pick your nose. Never. Sunlight blows right out your ass. Ess to the D. (SD) You don’t act polite when you don’t want to SD Ah. Here we go. The other side to the previous question about politeness. "You d o not fake being polite". Same way as this is a negative question. SD. When people make mistakes, you correct them SA This one is tough, but is likely an assertiveness question. I d go with agree he re. You usually like to be by yourself SD
You like to try things Extroverts like to try t made you sick by now hoice. (Personally I d
that are new and different SA new things. This shows their outgoingness. (If this hasn you need meds.) So of course you do. SA or A as is your c answer A, but the right answer probably is SA.)
Obviously not, given the prior questions. Either D or SD. I d go with SD. You talk cheerfully to people you meet SA Extrovert question. A or SA. I d go with SA since this is a sales job. You do what you want, no matter what others think SD LOL. The real answer is SA (for me), but they want SD. You re a stupid, agreeabl e drone. You tend to follow others more than lead A They want leaders in their crappy low-end jobs. So this is a D. (Answer it the s ame as the question above "You are good at taking charge of a group". Our origin al poster got caught in a lie here. Realistically, some of your projects will never be finished SD This is a "you finish what you start" negative question tempered with reality. " Realistically" is your clue. I d go with agree. People do a lot of things that make you angry SD You re generally agreeable, and a "lot of things" is pretty strong. I d go with SD here. You like to take the lead with others SA This is another leadership question. I d go with the same as the others. A. You make new friends all the time SA Extroverts are always making new friends. I d go with A instead of SA to make it more match my general tone, but both would probably work. You sometimes thought seriously about quitting high school SD You are not a quitter. SD. Any trouble you have is your own fault SA Even though this question is insidious bullshit, you are forced to answer A or S A because it indicates that you take responsibility for your actions. I d answer A here. When someone criticizes you, you criticize back SD No, you are agreeable. Agreeable people don t get mad. (Which is of course bulls hit.) I d answer SD here. You like to plan things before you start to do them SA Hm. Organized people plan, but not too much. I d go with A here. You shy away from trying new things SD Same as the other trying new and different things question. You re an extrovert. So the answer is SD. You are good at leading people D Same as the other leader questions. Our poster got this one wrong again. (He ans wered A to the one at the first part of the quiz.) Our answer is A. You worry about saying the wrong things to people A Confidence question that would lead you to be timid, when you said you were an e xtrovert. I d say D here. You re a confident extrovert and not shy or meek. You like to take frequent breaks when working on something difficult SD Obviously they want you to work and not play. I d go with SD here. You have plenty of self-confidence SA
Confidence question. Upbeat extroverts are confident. I d say agree here. SA see ms like too much ego. You are not interested in your friends’ problems SD You re an empathic extrovert. Of course you care. SD. You do not like to meet new people SD You re an extrovert. Of course you want to meet new people. SD. Your friends and family approve of the things you do SA This is a socialization question. You re a drone, remember. Be a drone. Agree. You bounce back right away from disappointments SA You re upbeat. Answer the same as the other upbeat questions. I would answer agr ee. It’s fun to go out to events with big crowds SA Extroverts like this. So do you. SA! It is important for you to feel good about your work SA You re concerned about your work and want to do a good job, so SA. You feel bad for a long time after you’ve made a mistake SD Upbeat people bounce back, just like you said you would a couple of questions ba ck. Disagree. (You answer the same, whichever SD or D you choose.) You’d rather not compete very much SD LOL. This one s funny. The obvious answer. SD. You avoid arguments as much as possible SD You re an extrovert and assertive but agreeable, so that d be SD. (Although I d probably answer Disagree, as I wouldn t want to be too meek and to maintain cohe rence with prior answers.) You can easily cheer up and forget a problem SA Same as the question 2 above this (You feel bad...) but the positive spin. SA. U pbeat people don t feel bad for long. You like to talk a lot SA Extrovert question. Answer the same. For a sales job this d be SA. You do things carefully so you don’t make mistakes SA Tough one, but pride in your work would demand that you do so. I d choose A not SA to temper it a bit. You have to give up on some things that you start SD Realism question. Same as the "Realistically, some projects" question above. Nor mally you won t like to do this, but to maintain coherency, you say agree. Other wise you d waste time. You don’t believe a lot of what people say SD This is a people are normally honest because you are question. You re an idiot t hat believes what people say, but not too much. D. You don’t care what people think of you SD Upbeat people let stuff roll off, as in the questions way above. I d say A. This is the obverse question to the above about it bothers me what other people thin k of me.
You like to have a lot to do SA Obviously you live to be worked into a small stump, so A. (SA is a little strong .) You finish your work no matter what SA The "no matter what" is tricky. There is no way to know which answer they re loo king for, but I d imagine this one to be D. This is to maintain coherency with t he other answers on "Realistically, some projects" and "You have to give up on s ome things" to keep you from wasting time. It really is a coin toss because it i s impossible to guess what they re looking for. You are careful not to offend people SA Assertiveness question. Same as some of the other questions. I d say D to balanc e it with tact. The idea with these questions is they re asking you if you re as sertive. You think a lot about things that have bothered you SD This is a dwelling on the past question. SD. Same as above. You could not deal with difficult people all day SD Obviously this is an anger and stability question. You are stable, so you say SD . (Since this is a sales job, but realistically, who d want to deal with asshole s all day?) You don’t care if you offend people SD Again, an assertiveness question but this one is tougher. I d say A. Being afrai d to assert yourself is the mark of an introvert and will probably flag you for being dishonest if you said you liked people. You pay close attention to people’s feelings SA Empathy question. I d temper it with the above though. A. You agree with people more than you argue SA Hm. We said above that we liked to argue if we could keep it friendly. Extrovert ed people do that, so we need to do it here some, but we also like to be agreeab le. I d go with Agree. You work best at a slow but steady speed SD You work quickly best. Because that is what they want. SD. (However, be mindful that this may be wrong if they considered the "I always think about things befor e I act" or similar question above.) You think of yourself as being very sensible SA Hm. I d go with Agree. You re smart to a degree, so it follows that you re sensi ble. Right now, you care more about having fun than being serious at school or work S D LOL. The obvious answer is SD. They want workers, not immature idiots. You act pleasant even when you feel bad SA Upbeat people do this. Agree. You want to be the best at everything you do SA Unrealistic, but agree. (SA sounds, again, too much like egotism.) You don’t worry about making a good impression SD No, you do. Sloppiness in one area leads to sloppiness in others. (Which is a li e, but whatever.) SD.
You wait to start your work until you are told to SD You re a leader remember? Disagree. (To match others.) You get mad at yourself when you make mistakes SA Don t want to get too strong here. Agree. Because you re supposed to give a shit . You’d rather blend into a crowd than stand out D You are an extrovert. SD. You look back and feel bad about things you’ve done SA Another depression / past question again. Sheesh. SD. (And the OP super-flunked this one.) In school or on a job, you could be doing better than you are SD This indicates that you aren t trying hard enough. But you do that. So you disag ree. (SD is too egotistical for me.) When you go someplace, you are never late SA You are punctual, but not always (Never?). So A. You have no big worries SD Upbeat question. You are not depressed and are upbeat. SD. You don’t work harder than you have to SD Obviously SD. You are a hard worker for the shit they put you through, eh? You take the lead in conversations or discussions SA You are a leader, so you do. A. It is maddening when the court lets guilty criminals go free SA Interesting question. This ties into the others about your theories on people. T he key is "maddening". I d say disagree here, to match our other answers. (Peopl e are basically honest.) Other people’s feelings are their own business D No, we are an extrovert and we like to push our noses into other s business. SD. You always try not to hurt people’s feelings SA Another assertiveness extrovert question. "Always". Disagree, to match tense wit h the others In groups, someone else usually takes the lead D You are a leader, remember? D to match tense. You are a good reader.SA Smart people are good readers. Go ahead and say SA to this one. You do not like small talk SD You re an extrovert. You do like small talk. SD. You do all you can do to win SA You re positive and upbeat, and a winner (of course, that is why you d be workin g a crap job), so say A. (to temper the "all you can do") You do not like to take orders SD You re a leader and a drone (no dichotomy here), so you LOVE to take orders. SD. You have trouble dealing with sudden changes SD No. You are flexible. SD. Even if that is psychotic.
You try to sense what others are thinking and feeling SA Empathic question, but you can t sense what others are thinking and feeling. I d say agree. It is just a poorly written question. You try to make everything you do perfect SA Well, you try to do everything well, so I d say agree. You’ve done your share of trouble making SD No, you haven t done your share. That is why your family and friends are happy g low-glow people. SD. You would rather work on a team than by yourself SA You re a leader and a team player and an extrovert. SA. You are hard to get along with when you are in a bad mood SD This is another "angry" question. SD. (even if it does make you into a mouse.) You criticize people when they deserve it SD This is a tough one. Criticize is a loaded word. D or SD. I d likely go with D e ven if that is likely not what they re looking for. You have always had good behavior in school or work SA Same as the other school question and the "hell raiser" question. They want dron e-leaders, remember? That s you, so you say SA. People who talk all the time are annoying D You like listening to others, right? And you re an extrovert, so you say D to ag ree with your other answers. You like to be in the middle of a big crowd SA Extroverts do this. So you say SA. You have confidence in yourself SA You have confidence and you re upbeat. I d go with A to match my other answers. You give direct criticism when you need to SA This is a damned hard one. "Need to" makes it almost impossible to guess. The OP got this one wrong as it has to agree with the above. I d go with D here. That might be wrong. You ignore people you don’t like SD Um. No. You re an extrovert and upbeat. You like everyone (which is agreeable), so you say SD. You don’t care if you offend people SD This is a meekness question, so I d go with D. "Don t care" is pretty strong her e. Empathy requires some level of caring, but not too much. It may not match wit h the other answers and this is why these tests suck. You chat with people you don’t know SA Extrovert question. SA. You have a busy, active schedule SA They want you to be busy. This is an anti-lazy question about work ethic. The op posite of all those stupid "I only work as much as I need to" questions. SA.

You expect to succeed in whatever you do: SA I would select agree, because it is positive and not unrealistic. You are good at taking charge of a group A I would select strongly agree, because that is the way I really am. However, the y do NOT want people that take charge. They want good stumbling stupid little sl aves because that is what they are. So select SA.(If this sounds perverse, remem ber they re stupid. This test will not make sense.) You keep calm when under stress SA Common sense. They don t want people that freak out under stress because they re planning to work the ever lasting shit out of you and make your life a living h ell. SA. That means lie. You are somewhat of a thrill-seeker SD Common sense. They don t want thrill seekers or anything else that might scare t hem. They suck and are stupid. D or SD. Probably SD.
You like to be alone SD LOL better answer SD to this one. They want people people since this is retail. You are well aware of your inner feelings SA Hm. I d say agree. Almost no one is really aware of their inner feelings. Self i ntrospection is an anti-psycho question. And a stupid one. Also tests for egotis m. People are often mean to you SD Noo. SD. This is a question aimed to see if you re neurotic. You get angry more often than nervous SD I d say disagree. This question is attempting to see if you are meek or confront ational. Which do you think they want? Meek. You are supposed to be a slime-suck ing worm, remember? You know when someone is in a bad mood, even if they don’t show it SA This is likely an empathy question. It is bullshit and requires you to answer in a psychotic way. The true answer is ... you can t. It is psychotic to think you know someone else like that, especially a stranger. However, what they re looki ng for is probably Agree or Strongly Agree. I d probably go with agree. You would like a job that is quiet and predictable SD *sigh* No of course you wouldn t. Remember they perversely want you a meek stupi d outgoing intelligent go-getter. Never mind that those people do not exist or t hey are batshit insane. You choose disagree or strongly disagree. You work hard at what you do SA Common sense. I d say agree if they re looking for the honest answer. Most peopl e believe that they re working well enough. Why the hell would you kill yourself for some crappy job that required you to beat yourself up like this? Agree or s trongly agree. You keep your promises, no matter what SA Honesty test. No one is strongly agree. That s a blatant lie. I d say agree here . However, in their own psychologically-challenged way, it might be SA. Hurts my head to think that though. You work better with your hands than your mind A LOL good luck on this one. It is a query to see if you re smart or stupid. I d g o with disagree. You don t want to be seen as a clutz, but they also want to hir e smart people for nothing too. As if anyone remotely bright would subject thems elves to such an ego kicking. You don’t work too hard because it doesn’t pay off anyway SD LOL for these crappy jobs, of course the answer would be SA!!! But, they don t w ant to hear that and this is another work-hard test. An anti-question to the "Yo u work hard..." one. Disagree or Strongly Disagree. However you answered the pre vious work question. You love to be with people SA Extrovert test. In retail you have to be extroverted, so answer the opposite of the way you did for "You would like a job that is quiet..." above, either agree or disagree. You love to listen to people talk about themselves SA This is a tough one, but to be empathic and a good listener you have to listen. So this is agree or strongly agree. I d go with agree. You hate to give up if you can’t solve a hard problem SA
This is a tricky question. I would imagine in retail they don t want you wasting time with something when you could be doing something else. However, they asked a smart question above. I d answer agree. SA might be too strong here. It shoul d match the opposite of what you said under the hands/head question above. You prefer to do things alone SD You re a people-person, remember? You love the slack-jawed stumbling piles of cr ap you re forced to work with. Go with it. Empathy away! Answer the same as you answered under the "You love to listen" bullshit question above. When under pressure, you think about This is another question in the same Choose the opposite of what you did ven though that is the stupid way to
all that can go wrong SD line as "You keep calm under stress" above. under the prior one. I d go with SD here. E answer. Remember they want you to lie.
It is easy for you to ignore small problems SD Attention to detail question. I d be tempted to disagree here, but I think SD is the idiot-answer they re looking for. You feel lively and energetic at parties SA Empathy question. Answer the same as all other empathy questions. Answer the sam e as the "Love to Listen" question above. You are a quiet person SD You didn t like the quiet job. You like noisy places and parties. You like heari ng morons spew inane crap at you and all for a crappy wage. So, as an extrovert you choose the same as the other extrovert questions. SD. You don’t like to be interrupted when you are doing something SD This is along the same vein as the question above on "You hate to give up if you can t..." except this is an opposite. (Probably designed to test for obsessives .) It is a given that you will be interrupted a billion times in crappy retail p ositions. SD probably. When someone is rude to you, you get over it quickly SA In retail you re going to get your ass kicked from customers and from the manage morons. Extroverted worms, like you re supposed to be, let stuff blithely slide off their hollow little psyches. So should you. SA might be too strong so I d go with agree. You do not always feel hopeful about your future SD This is a depression question. No one wants depressed people. Because... anyone working the worst job since porn-theater cleanup for minimum wage with idiot coworkers and minimal pay would be depressed would they? Of course not. You re upb eat. However, SD is pretty psychotic and I d be tempted to go with disagree. When you need to, you take it easy at work SD Of course you re a hard working monkey for minimum pay! What were they thinking? SD. You attract attention to yourself SD Hm. Histronics need not apply. SD. You are a smart, unassuming, outgoing, eager, shallow, meek but aggressive little drone, aren t you? Yep. SD. You believe that you would be very successful at a sales job SA Good lord. Optimism question. Answer the same way you did for the "You expect to succeed" question. I would ve answered agree. You finish the work you have to do, even when you’re tired or bored SA Well, since they re going to work the shit out of you, and it is going to be mor
e boring than watching an entire weekend of Leave it to Beaver, that answer woul d be... SA. Total bullshit, but that s what they want. You are proud of the work you do at school or on a job SA Work ethic question. SA is really the only answer to this one. Not taking pride in your work makes you sloppy. You look forward to going to work (or school) SA Of course this is a test for liking your future crappy no-end job-hell for minim um pay. I d say agree and not SA. No one really likes going to work all the time . Who knows what answer they re really looking for. You quickly see the solutions to new problems SA This is a test for intelligence. You don t wana be too smart though. Answer the opposite of the "You work better with your hands than your mind." I d agree. (Of course, in reality it d be SA. We don t want to appear TOO smart or egotistical though. Don t want to scare them. Besides, anyone brighter than a mouse would l eave at the first opportunity. Right?) You have no big regrets about your past SA This is a depression question. I know it doesn t look like it, but it is. Depres sed people are hung on the past. You aren t depressed, so you have no big regret s. Agree is realistic, but they might be looking for the more psychotic SA. I d go with agree. Answer the opposite of the "You do not always feel hopeful about your future" question above. In school, you were one of the best students SA Smart-guy question. Of course you were. Answer this like the "You quickly" quest ion above. It bothers you when something unexpected disrupts your day Same question as above in another form. "You don’t like to ou are doing something". Here they want you to lie and say answer is probably either D or A. If you said SA then you SD be interrupted when y SD. However, the real re an OCD fruitcake!
When someone treats you badly, you ignore it SA Same question as above: "When someone is rude to you, you get over it quickly" a nd you should answer it the same way. I said agree. See, positive people let sli ghts roll off because the guy that just peed all over your shoe was probably jus t having a bad day. You like people to notice you A Neurosis or egotism question. Answer the same as you did above: "You attract att ention to yourself". Note the poster would ve missed this one on the test. I d g uess the answer would be either disagree or agree. I d go with disagree. The pro blem with these questions is that they are highly subjective. There IS no correc t answer given the lack of context. On one hand this pair of questions could be seeing if you are introverted since introverted people don t like to be noticed. In which case you would answer agree to both questions. On the other hand they may be looking for neurosis, which would lead you to answer disagree to both. Wh ichever way you answer (and agree might well be correct), you need to answer the same way on both. Not doing so shows "deception". Slow-moving people make you impatient A I think this one is a test for patience and empathy. You don t want to hurry peo ple. I d go with disagree. You often feel nervous about something SD No, you do not. You are confident, remember? Answer SD.
You got mostly good grades in high school SA LOL. Lie. Either agree or SA. This is a smarty question, so even though it makes no sense, answer the same way you would ve for the previous smarty questions. S ince you don t want to be too bright, I d answer Agree. SA sounds too much like bragging. Many people cannot be trusted D Paranoia and neurosis test. The "right" answer is SD. You re upbeat, remember? T winkly-light blows out of your ass. To not trust other people is to somehow stat e that you are not to be trusted. Insane? Of course it is. However, you need to make this answer the same as the other upbeat questions above. (Opposite of the positive questions.) You rarely act without thinking SA Sloppiness question. They don t want sloppy but its pair is harder to identify. On one hand, they could be checking for OCD, which would score SA. On the other hand, a flexible thinker doesn t have to ponder each answer if they ve seen it b efore. The common answer is A or SA. I d go with one of those. Rarely would in dicate SA for me. You have friends, but don’t like them to be too close SD This is an extrovert question. Introverts have a few close friends and extrovert s have many shallow friends. You should answer as positive as you did with the o ther extrovert questions. I d go with SA. You could describe yourself as ‘tidy’ SA Disorderly people make mistakes. You don t make mistakes because you re upbeat, right? I d say SA. In your free time, you go out more than stay home SA Extrovert question. You re out-going so you say SA or A. SA is more indicated here since this is a retail job and they want you to pester the shit out of peop le. Your stuff is often kind of messy SD Disorderly people are bad. Answer the same as the tidy question above. SD, sin ce this is a negative pose question. People have a lot of arguments with you SD Extroverted, positive, agreeable people don t get into many arguments. SD, since you are the proverbial lovable, hard-working, smart-idiot drone they seek. You have a lot of different abilities SA Smart people have lots of abilities and are "flexible", which is a good buzz-wor d for the idiot execs. Either Agree or SA. SA sounds a bit too egotistical and I would answer A. (Same as the other positive smart questions.) Your moods are steady from day to day SA Neurosis question. Answer the same as the other positive neurosis questions. Eit her SA or A. You are lively and talkative SA Extrovert question. Of course you are. Either SA or A. Since this is a sales job , I d go with SA. There are some people you really can’t stand SD Positivity question. Remember: "When someone treats you badly, you ignore it" an d "When someone is rude to you, you get over it quickly". This is the same quest ion. It is a negative question, so you answer it the opposite of the other posit ive questions. I d say disagree.
You do not fake being polite SD At first I thought this one was an extrovert question, because an extrovert woul dn t have to fake being polite. Then I thought about the language (fake is a pre tty strong word. Not pretend, but fake) and I d have to go with SD. I think they re testing to see if you have some vestige of disagreeableness. They want you t o have no backbone, remember. (Another question further down verified this.) You show it when you are in a bad mood SD Of course you don t. You repress it like a good little drone. I d go with SD her e. When things go wrong, it’s hard to control your temper SD You re upbeat and positive, so this indicates you would say SD. ("hard to contro l" is strong language indicating that you might go "out of control", and they do n t want that.) It bothers you when you have to obey a lot of rules SD I like this question. This is a drone question. I d answer SA, but they re looki ng for D or SD. They want to make sure you ll follow all their bull-shit nonsens ical rules. I d go with disagree to leave a vestige of the "free-thinker" in the re, just in case they re that self-delusional. You can argue hard but still keep it friendly SA Tough one, again. In a retail situation they want you agreeable, but extroverted . I d say agree or strongly agree. You would rather not get involved in other people’s problems D In a retail situation, they want extrovertedness. Extroverts want to solve distr essed looking people s problems. Therefore your answer here is SD or D. I d go w ith SD here, since it implies that you want to help people. It is not easy for you to put your ideas in writing SD Intelligence question. It is easy for you to put your ideas into writing. SD. When you are annoyed with something, you say so SD Anger question and agreeableness question. You are a drone. You don t speak out when some fat retard makes you angry by doing something stupid or the idiot mana ger infuriates you with a total lack of respect due a dog. Therefore, you disagr ee or SD. I d go with SD. You were absent very few days from high school SA This one is an attendance and punctuality question. SA is the only answer. You’ve had some disappointments that you’ll never get over SD Same question as "You have no big regrets about your past", but the negative. Yo u answer SD. You follow through on everything that you start SA Finish question. Here, I think I d say either A or SA. I d probably go with A. You feel nervous when there are demands you can’t meet A Tough one. On one hand they want you to be confident, on the other hand, they wa nt you to feel pain over the impossible situations they re going to put you into . I d go with agree here, even though it should be D for extroverts. You think a lot about the worries and stresses you have D You don t worry. This is a bad idea. Answer the same as the other upbeat questio ns. D or SD. (Look at the "You ve had some disappointments" question above.
People’s feelings are sometimes hurt by what you say SD Hard one to guess. Either they are attempting to ask you about the idea that you often say things that hurt people s feelings or they are testing you on your em pathy. In truth, people s feelings ARE sometimes hurt by what you say, unless yo u re a spineless twit. I d say either agree or disagree. My guess, only by the w ay it is phrased, is disagree. SD implies that you have no empathy and SA implie s that you often say stuff that makes people upset or are overly critical. This is a key reason why these tests are useless. You make more sensible choices than careless ones SA This is a question about intelligence. I d go with the same thing. Agree. SA mig ht imply overconfidence. It bothers you a long time when someone is unfair to you SD Extrovert upbeat question. Upbeat people are shallow and everything is someone e lse s problem. So, of course, you re shallow and you say SD. (D is too wishy was hy for this one with LONG and UNFAIR.) You change from feeling happy to sad without any reason SD No. You are not labile. (Learn a new word. Look it up.) You are emotionally stab le. Like everyone else. A good docile sheep. SD. This one is pretty strong too.
You do some things that upset people SD Answer the same as you did in the "People’s feelings are sometimes hurt by what you say" question. With this one, I d have to say they should both be answered a s D or SD. SD is probably the right answer and contraindicates empathy. All hail pathos. When you are done with your work, you look for more to do. SA This is a drone question. Of course, you re a drone. So you answer A or SA. You are always learning about new things SA Same question as "You like to try things that are new and different". Answer it the same way. SA. You are skilled at convincing people SA This one is a tough one. On one side, this might be that they re trying to see i f you re good at conning people and is a question of your honesty. However, posi tive people are stupid, apparently, and so they would see the word convincing as not tricking. And they want you to sell their overpriced crap. So this is eit her A or SA. In this instance I d go with SA. You swear when you argue SD LOL. If you can t figure this one out... No. You never cuss or swear or fart or pick your nose. Never. Sunlight blows right out your ass. Ess to the D. (SD) You don’t act polite when you don’t want to SD Ah. Here we go. The other side to the previous question about politeness. "You d o not fake being polite". Same way as this is a negative question. SD. When people make mistakes, you correct them SA This one is tough, but is likely an assertiveness question. I d go with agree he re. You usually like to be by yourself SD
You like to try things Extroverts like to try t made you sick by now hoice. (Personally I d
that are new and different SA new things. This shows their outgoingness. (If this hasn you need meds.) So of course you do. SA or A as is your c answer A, but the right answer probably is SA.)
Obviously not, given the prior questions. Either D or SD. I d go with SD. You talk cheerfully to people you meet SA Extrovert question. A or SA. I d go with SA since this is a sales job. You do what you want, no matter what others think SD LOL. The real answer is SA (for me), but they want SD. You re a stupid, agreeabl e drone. You tend to follow others more than lead A They want leaders in their crappy low-end jobs. So this is a D. (Answer it the s ame as the question above "You are good at taking charge of a group". Our origin al poster got caught in a lie here. Realistically, some of your projects will never be finished SD This is a "you finish what you start" negative question tempered with reality. " Realistically" is your clue. I d go with agree. People do a lot of things that make you angry SD You re generally agreeable, and a "lot of things" is pretty strong. I d go with SD here. You like to take the lead with others SA This is another leadership question. I d go with the same as the others. A. You make new friends all the time SA Extroverts are always making new friends. I d go with A instead of SA to make it more match my general tone, but both would probably work. You sometimes thought seriously about quitting high school SD You are not a quitter. SD. Any trouble you have is your own fault SA Even though this question is insidious bullshit, you are forced to answer A or S A because it indicates that you take responsibility for your actions. I d answer A here. When someone criticizes you, you criticize back SD No, you are agreeable. Agreeable people don t get mad. (Which is of course bulls hit.) I d answer SD here. You like to plan things before you start to do them SA Hm. Organized people plan, but not too much. I d go with A here. You shy away from trying new things SD Same as the other trying new and different things question. You re an extrovert. So the answer is SD. You are good at leading people D Same as the other leader questions. Our poster got this one wrong again. (He ans wered A to the one at the first part of the quiz.) Our answer is A. You worry about saying the wrong things to people A Confidence question that would lead you to be timid, when you said you were an e xtrovert. I d say D here. You re a confident extrovert and not shy or meek. You like to take frequent breaks when working on something difficult SD Obviously they want you to work and not play. I d go with SD here. You have plenty of self-confidence SA
Confidence question. Upbeat extroverts are confident. I d say agree here. SA see ms like too much ego. You are not interested in your friends’ problems SD You re an empathic extrovert. Of course you care. SD. You do not like to meet new people SD You re an extrovert. Of course you want to meet new people. SD. Your friends and family approve of the things you do SA This is a socialization question. You re a drone, remember. Be a drone. Agree. You bounce back right away from disappointments SA You re upbeat. Answer the same as the other upbeat questions. I would answer agr ee. It’s fun to go out to events with big crowds SA Extroverts like this. So do you. SA! It is important for you to feel good about your work SA You re concerned about your work and want to do a good job, so SA. You feel bad for a long time after you’ve made a mistake SD Upbeat people bounce back, just like you said you would a couple of questions ba ck. Disagree. (You answer the same, whichever SD or D you choose.) You’d rather not compete very much SD LOL. This one s funny. The obvious answer. SD. You avoid arguments as much as possible SD You re an extrovert and assertive but agreeable, so that d be SD. (Although I d probably answer Disagree, as I wouldn t want to be too meek and to maintain cohe rence with prior answers.) You can easily cheer up and forget a problem SA Same as the question 2 above this (You feel bad...) but the positive spin. SA. U pbeat people don t feel bad for long. You like to talk a lot SA Extrovert question. Answer the same. For a sales job this d be SA. You do things carefully so you don’t make mistakes SA Tough one, but pride in your work would demand that you do so. I d choose A not SA to temper it a bit. You have to give up on some things that you start SD Realism question. Same as the "Realistically, some projects" question above. Nor mally you won t like to do this, but to maintain coherency, you say agree. Other wise you d waste time. You don’t believe a lot of what people say SD This is a people are normally honest because you are question. You re an idiot t hat believes what people say, but not too much. D. You don’t care what people think of you SD Upbeat people let stuff roll off, as in the questions way above. I d say A. This is the obverse question to the above about it bothers me what other people thin k of me.
You like to have a lot to do SA Obviously you live to be worked into a small stump, so A. (SA is a little strong .) You finish your work no matter what SA The "no matter what" is tricky. There is no way to know which answer they re loo king for, but I d imagine this one to be D. This is to maintain coherency with t he other answers on "Realistically, some projects" and "You have to give up on s ome things" to keep you from wasting time. It really is a coin toss because it i s impossible to guess what they re looking for. You are careful not to offend people SA Assertiveness question. Same as some of the other questions. I d say D to balanc e it with tact. The idea with these questions is they re asking you if you re as sertive. You think a lot about things that have bothered you SD This is a dwelling on the past question. SD. Same as above. You could not deal with difficult people all day SD Obviously this is an anger and stability question. You are stable, so you say SD . (Since this is a sales job, but realistically, who d want to deal with asshole s all day?) You don’t care if you offend people SD Again, an assertiveness question but this one is tougher. I d say A. Being afrai d to assert yourself is the mark of an introvert and will probably flag you for being dishonest if you said you liked people. You pay close attention to people’s feelings SA Empathy question. I d temper it with the above though. A. You agree with people more than you argue SA Hm. We said above that we liked to argue if we could keep it friendly. Extrovert ed people do that, so we need to do it here some, but we also like to be agreeab le. I d go with Agree. You work best at a slow but steady speed SD You work quickly best. Because that is what they want. SD. (However, be mindful that this may be wrong if they considered the "I always think about things befor e I act" or similar question above.) You think of yourself as being very sensible SA Hm. I d go with Agree. You re smart to a degree, so it follows that you re sensi ble. Right now, you care more about having fun than being serious at school or work S D LOL. The obvious answer is SD. They want workers, not immature idiots. You act pleasant even when you feel bad SA Upbeat people do this. Agree. You want to be the best at everything you do SA Unrealistic, but agree. (SA sounds, again, too much like egotism.) You don’t worry about making a good impression SD No, you do. Sloppiness in one area leads to sloppiness in others. (Which is a li e, but whatever.) SD.
You wait to start your work until you are told to SD You re a leader remember? Disagree. (To match others.) You get mad at yourself when you make mistakes SA Don t want to get too strong here. Agree. Because you re supposed to give a shit . You’d rather blend into a crowd than stand out D You are an extrovert. SD. You look back and feel bad about things you’ve done SA Another depression / past question again. Sheesh. SD. (And the OP super-flunked this one.) In school or on a job, you could be doing better than you are SD This indicates that you aren t trying hard enough. But you do that. So you disag ree. (SD is too egotistical for me.) When you go someplace, you are never late SA You are punctual, but not always (Never?). So A. You have no big worries SD Upbeat question. You are not depressed and are upbeat. SD. You don’t work harder than you have to SD Obviously SD. You are a hard worker for the shit they put you through, eh? You take the lead in conversations or discussions SA You are a leader, so you do. A. It is maddening when the court lets guilty criminals go free SA Interesting question. This ties into the others about your theories on people. T he key is "maddening". I d say disagree here, to match our other answers. (Peopl e are basically honest.) Other people’s feelings are their own business D No, we are an extrovert and we like to push our noses into other s business. SD. You always try not to hurt people’s feelings SA Another assertiveness extrovert question. "Always". Disagree, to match tense wit h the others In groups, someone else usually takes the lead D You are a leader, remember? D to match tense. You are a good reader.SA Smart people are good readers. Go ahead and say SA to this one. You do not like small talk SD You re an extrovert. You do like small talk. SD. You do all you can do to win SA You re positive and upbeat, and a winner (of course, that is why you d be workin g a crap job), so say A. (to temper the "all you can do") You do not like to take orders SD You re a leader and a drone (no dichotomy here), so you LOVE to take orders. SD. You have trouble dealing with sudden changes SD No. You are flexible. SD. Even if that is psychotic.
You try to sense what others are thinking and feeling SA Empathic question, but you can t sense what others are thinking and feeling. I d say agree. It is just a poorly written question. You try to make everything you do perfect SA Well, you try to do everything well, so I d say agree. You’ve done your share of trouble making SD No, you haven t done your share. That is why your family and friends are happy g low-glow people. SD. You would rather work on a team than by yourself SA You re a leader and a team player and an extrovert. SA. You are hard to get along with when you are in a bad mood SD This is another "angry" question. SD. (even if it does make you into a mouse.) You criticize people when they deserve it SD This is a tough one. Criticize is a loaded word. D or SD. I d likely go with D e ven if that is likely not what they re looking for. You have always had good behavior in school or work SA Same as the other school question and the "hell raiser" question. They want dron e-leaders, remember? That s you, so you say SA. People who talk all the time are annoying D You like listening to others, right? And you re an extrovert, so you say D to ag ree with your other answers. You like to be in the middle of a big crowd SA Extroverts do this. So you say SA. You have confidence in yourself SA You have confidence and you re upbeat. I d go with A to match my other answers. You give direct criticism when you need to SA This is a damned hard one. "Need to" makes it almost impossible to guess. The OP got this one wrong as it has to agree with the above. I d go with D here. That might be wrong. You ignore people you don’t like SD Um. No. You re an extrovert and upbeat. You like everyone (which is agreeable), so you say SD. You don’t care if you offend people SD This is a meekness question, so I d go with D. "Don t care" is pretty strong her e. Empathy requires some level of caring, but not too much. It may not match wit h the other answers and this is why these tests suck. You chat with people you don’t know SA Extrovert question. SA. You have a busy, active schedule SA They want you to be busy. This is an anti-lazy question about work ethic. The op posite of all those stupid "I only work as much as I need to" questions. SA.
