“An average level of candidness”

Evaluation for employment

These are my results for one of those “no right or wrong answers” tests given by a local employment agency. I’d make fun of it, except I have to admit, it’s pretty accurate. (The stress management bar should have a little cartoon stick of dynamite at one end and a sparkly flame at the other.)

There must be a planet for me out there somewhere, though, because if the people in my society weren’t so damned “ambitious and assertive”, i.e. pushy, then I wouldn’t have anything to stress about in the first place. Anyway, now that everyone is so well-equipped to methodically assess my fundamental character flaws, does anyone want to offer an actual remedy for them?

No, seriously, the truth is, they don’t want you to be a total flake, but they want you to be just enough of a flake that when you’ve worked hard on something and then your supervisor destroys it in front of your eyes, your instinctive reaction is to smile and say, “rock on, boss”.
