Which Kind of Minion Are You?

[forsyth]

Those stupid online personality tests on employment pages feel like the "Which DBZ character are you?!?!?!?!" quizzes. And they're probably less accurate, since everybody knows the "right" answers are the "bootlicking choirboy" answers. Employers aren't looking for initiative, creativity, or anything else, they're looking for obedient warm bodies that won't question anything and will put the work above anything else in their lives, at all. Which is fucking retarded, and one of the problems with corporate America, but you all knew that.

People actually put personality quizzes on job listings sites? D:

The internet may be having an adverse affect on general intelligence after all.

Indeed. Borders, Costco, and many others have them.

However, companies have been using dubiously accurate personality tests for years. Hell, there was even a study a while back that found people hired at random from acceptable resumes turned out better than people picked by interviews.

Yeah, but it doesn't make it less frustrating. The level of bullet headed inanity pervading the regular American work place is becoming more and more difficult to parody.

I remember getting a good laugh from Dilbert... now I just shake my head and smile sadly...
