Employment Advice (1)

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

Caro has been applying for jobs. The latest application included 80 psychometric questions. 

"Oh f***," said Caro, swearily. 

The test consisted of 80 statements to which you replied TRUE if they accurately reflected your personality and FALSE if they did not. 

"Go with your initial answer and do not over-think," the test added, helpfully. 

I decided to be Mr. Helpful and shout my responses. 

I AM ORGANISED AND DISCIPLINED
"True!" I said. 

I AM SOCIABLE AND FRIENDLY
"True!" I said.

I AM HELPFUL TO OTHERS.
"True!" This was going really well.

I HAVE SYMPATHY FOR EVERYONE
"Well.... not everyone..."

"I'm putting 'false'," said Caro.

I RESPECT AUTHORITY
"False!" I sniggered.

I CAN BE TOO DEFERENTIAL TO MANAGERS
"Oh my f***ing god!" I gasped.

"False," said Caro.

I AM SARCASTIC
"SOOOOOO f*cking true!!!" 

Caro scowled at me. "I'm not THAT bad."

"You really are."

"True," she said. 

So we SAILED through the 80 questions really fast! It was so much FUN! I got to insult my wife for ten minutes straight. 

I think Caro was annoyed that I enjoyed it so much. 

She'll thank me when she gets the job. Her long-suffering managers might not though.
