The Braxton-Hicks Interior Sorting Survey for Testing
Designers
This is not a test-test. This is a survey of of your responses
to this test. The test itself does not matter. What matters is the manner in which
you respond to the test. This will not be timed, but the speed in which you react
will be noted. This will not be a major part of your selection criteria for this
position, but it will contribute to our attitude toward you and your working
methods. If you do not have an answer to a question, then make one up.
Creativity will be a good part of our reaction to your reaction to the possible
reaction on our part to your intuitive grasp of just what sort of person
we really don't want to share coffee breaks and stag nights with.
At the ringing of the cowbell, please take one unsharpened #2 pencil and
fling it at the desk of the proctor. The one that falls in her lap will belong to the
person who may leave the room immediately. The one that falls in her cleavage
belongs to the person that she will want to talk to immediately after the
test is over.
