[Discuss] Aptitude Test or Family Feud?

[Eric Chadbourne]

I just had a brief exchange with a head hunter looking to fill a position at a university.  They asked me to take a test, which I almost always say no to.  I'm not a fscking trick pony.  I don't jump through hoops.  Nevertheless I could use some cash and took a look.  Some answers are "more" right or wrong based on popularity and not completely on technical accuracy.  I refused to play Family Feud and suggested they ask somebody else.

It seems to me that it would be very biased.  I bet you could tell things like race, country of origin, and all sorts of other stuff not directly related to the ability to perform the job.Eric C
