Personality Questionnaire

paky

I noticed applying for a number of jobs that they ask similar questions with regards to your personality. Why do they ask these questions and what judgements do they make from them?

• Do you initiate converstaion when you walk into another room when theres only one other person there?

• Did you set fires when you were a child?

• What marks do you expect to get in your degree?

• Do you like to work alone or as part of a team?

Im sure theres alot more but there the only ones i can think of at the mo.

I have never seen that especially number, ask yourself what differece a yes or no question would make to you if you hiring someone and I think you have you answer.

if you've ever applied for a job in the army they'll ask you that question. I think it is a trait psychopaths share, although Im not sure.
