Before I leave the Director of the department says he wants me to come in tomorrow to take this personality test that is required for the company for all applicants. I received an email from this cute girl in HR a few hours later and she said everyone was impressed with me and that it was a pleasure to meet me. She also included the time for when I am coming in tomorrow to take that test.

So how did I do?

You're moving on to the next step.

Try your BEST not to answer like a anti-social pscychopath. You can do it! Just concentrate.

Basically ask yourself "What would ATOT do?" and do the opposite.

If you always give the "right" answer on the test, the automated scoring system might call you a liar. Like "I have never stolen", "I have never lied", "I have never left early". If it is that kind of test.

I took on of those at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and the employee said one of her super-Christian friends failed the test by giving those answers, even though they were true.

BTW, I didn't get the job because another friend of that employee walked in while we were talking and said, "Oh, are you hiring? I should work here!" So, there you go.

It's a personality test, not a background test. The test you took at BBB wouldn't likely occur at the professional level. I've never seen one at least and I've never heard of one either. It probably makes sense for people working jobs with high turnover and no real experience needed though.

I thought that when I was taking an entry test for the FBI.

"Have you ever used illegal drugs"

I figured, surely the FBI doesnt want a bunch of pansies that have lived under their mothers skirt their whole life, so I answered yes. Never heard anything back.
