How To Pass a Psychological Employment Profile Test

Have you ever taken a psychological profile test for a job? I have taken dozens and once upon a time could not pass one. Certain jobs will attempt to analyze you to determine certain aspects of your personality.



Most of these tests provide somewhere between 50-600 multiple choice questions using different cross referencing techniques to determine aspects of your personality. Most try to determine your trustworthiness based on past studies and statistics. The question is, are they accurate? My determination is maybe.

Several years ago, after losing a job, I was trying to get any job to earn income between good jobs – many of us have probably done that. I applied for a waiter job at the popular restaurant Applebees. They gave me one of these psychological tests which was 60 questions. I failed it miserably. Actually, I failed it so badly that the manager let me take it again because he thought there must have been some type of freakish anomaly. The second time I took it, I didn’t read the questions; I simply guessed on every answer and passed with flying colors. Of course I only worked there for a few days because I hated it.



I applied at another job which had 250 questions on their psychological test. I was actually already hired, but had to to take the test as a formality. I failed it! The woman administering the test said and I quote, “Oh my, you scored worse than anyone I’ve ever seen in my entire life. You are not qualified to work here. Your results show an incredible amount of possible deception and strong propensity to be dishonest and steal. This shows you are level 5 red, the most deceptive type of person known. I’ve never seen anyone have this score before.”

I said, “What? I’m not dishonest. I don’t steal or anything like that.”

She said, “Well, it says here you do. I’m sorry.”

I was hired by someone I personally know, who happened to know what kind of employee I am. He pulled some strings to get me hired – without actually passing the test! That is dishonest in itself – using an inside friend to get over on a test, but I did it because I needed to work.

So, are these tests really accurate? The truth is, these tests which try to determine whether a person is likely to steal is more of an intelligence test than anything else. Here’s an example of some questions asked (yes/no questions):

Have you ever known anyone who has stolen from an employer and got away with it?

If someone stole something from an employer and you were aware of it, would you report them?

Think about this. If you answer yes to the first question and yes to the second, then you are a liar…right? No, this is actually the correct answer. What they’re looking for is whether or not you are analyzing the questions (as you go along) or not, not so much how you answer the questions. If you’ve known someone who stole and got away with it, then you would obviously not report them because otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten away with it! Right?

You see, they are looking for your ability to notice things like that in the whole of the test. If you remember question to question what your answers are, then you are more likely to let a previous answer to affect following answers – this demonstrates your propensity to lie, cheat or steal. The truth is, if you fail the test, you are either extremely honest or extremely dishonest; neither of which will get you the job. This shows extremism in your personality, which the employer is not willing to take a chance on.

Another view is that you are simply too smart for the job. These tests are based on your ability to steal and get away with it. If you’re smart enough to do that, you will not be hired. I don’t steal from employees, but because I’m smart enough to and never get caught, it is too much of a risk to take for the employer. Many jobs are looking for people too dumb to steal effectively. They want you to be dumb so you’ll get caught.

If you have problems passing these tests…just guess on every question and you’ll have a 50/50 chance of passing because most have factored in the fact that you may be guessing! It’s a catch-22 for intelligent people to pass these tests. My advice is to not make any mental notes while taking it. Answer the questions quickly with the first thing that comes to mind and you’ll have a 95% chance of passing, In today’s world of tests like these, you need all the knowledge you can get.

Just so you know, I do not steal from employers. I have been fired from seven jobs for ratting people out who did steal. Nobody likes a rat, not even employers (especially not fellow employees who do steal). You see, most people do not have the guts to stand up for what is right and tell on someone for doing something illegal or wrong. These tests basically lump dishonest and extremely honest into the same category, which is in itself a travesty of justice and should be illegal.

Bottom line, don’t think…just answer, and do it quickly

The FBI, CIA and homeland security actually want people who cannot pass these tests as their top operatives because of their ability to deceive. It’s funny isn’t it? Maybe I’m in the wrong line of work. It sucks that any employer would depend on these psychological profiles. Whatever happened to actually meeting a prospective employer in person?

Human Brain Analysis - Man vs. Woman......

1. MULTI-TASKING

Women - Multiple process

Womens brains designed to concentrate multiple task at a time.

Women can Watch a TV and Talk over phone and cook.

Men - Single Process

Mens brains designed to concentrate only one work at a time. Men can not watch TV and talk over the phone at the same time. they stop the TV while Talking. They can either watch TV or talk over the phone or cook.



2. LANGUAGE

Women can easily learn many languages. But can not find solutions to problems. Men can not easily learn languages, they can easily solve problems. That's why in average a 3 years old girl has three times higher vocabulary than a 3 yeard old boy.



3. ANALYTICAL SKILLS

Mens brains has a lot of space for handling the analytical process. They can analyze and find the solution for a process and design a map of a building easily. But If a complex map is viewed by women, they can not understand it. Women can not understand the details of a map easily, For them it is just a dump of lines on a paper.



4. CAR DRIVING.

While driving a car, mans analytical spaces are used in his brain. He can drive a car fastly. If he sees an object at long distance, immediately his brain classifies the object (bus or van or car) direction and speed of the object and he drives accordingly. Where woman take a long time to recognize the object direction/ speed. Mans single process mind stops the audio in the car (if any), then concentrates only on driving.



5. LYING

When men lie to women face to face, they get caught easily. Womans super natural brain observes facial expression 70%, body language 20% and words coming from the mouth 10%. Mens brain does not have this. Women easily lie to men face to face.

So guys, do not lie face to face.



6. PROBLEMS SOLVING

If a man have a lot of problems, his brain clearly classifies the problems and puts them in individual rooms in the brain and then finds the solution one by one. You can see many guys looking at the sky for a long time. If a woman has a lot of problems, her brain can not classify the problems. she wants some one to hear that. After telling everything to a person she goes happily to bed. She does not worry about the problems being solved or not.



7. WHAT THEY WANT

Men want status, success, solutions, big process, etc... But Women want relationship, friends, family, etc...



8. UNHAPPINESS

If women are unhappy with their relations, they can not concentrate on their work. If men are unhappy with their work, they can not concentrate on the relations.



9. SPEECH

Women use indirect language in speech. But Men use direct language.





10. HANDLING EMOTION

Women talk a lot without thinking. Men act a lot without thinking.

direct TV

Hate living in cohoes. Really hate time Warner cable , they truly have most people by the ding ding when it comes to cable and Internet. You may think by going to another service, that you are not dealing with twc but you are. Any ways stuck with the crappy twc for now. Just have to wait and see. Come on direct tv or Verizon fios . Get service here for tv, Internet and phone.

Our Direct TV box blew out yesterday. Three days without TV. He is searching through all old movies for something to watch. Boy! Must be so hard with pre-season games and races for him. Can you imagine NO TV for 3 days???

Peter Torsone14 minutes ago There is an alarmingly common thought in America that NASA is useless. That space is only good for TV and GPS. Why is this? It is because we are concerned with the now. Why send people to mars when we can launch a satellite to help me watch TV? In this sense those people are right the are no immediate, direct benefits to society from sending people to another world. But I can still give three good reasons to do it. One, the science. Landing on another body instantly tells you about the history of it. Was there water? Was there life? What is special about it? How did it form? All these questions are answered. And the answers to these questions help us to learn more about our own planet. Second technology used on these missions can be reapplied to tasks here on earth. Pacemakers, fire fighting suits, and Doppler radar are some examples of the hundreds of spinoffs used in society today. Finally there is a Social aspect to the exploration of space. When we first took our first tentative steps into space millions of people watched them happen live. It is estimated that 135million people watched John Glenn orbit earth for the first time, one BILLION watched or listened on the radio to the Christmas broadcast from Apollo 8 in lunar orbit, and 750 million watched the first steps on the moon. From 1970 to 1977 there was a noticeable increase In the number of engineers, scientists, and mathematicians in the US. This was the period of time when children and teens who had watched the space program progress were finding jobs. The triumphs by NASA inspired them to take on complicated problems and high level jobs. But after 1977 the number of these such jobs decreased and is still in this slide. Why? Because there was nothing for kids to look up to. Exploration is the greatest motivator. And space is one of the only places left to explore. Currently NASA's budget is 17 billion dollars a year. Thats half a penny out of every taxpayer dollar. Let's double that. One penny out of every dollar and 34 billion a year. Realistically we would be on mars 5 to 7 years after depending on planetary alignment, in addition to a permanent outpost on the moon and flights to near earth asteroids. All that for a penny more. The JSF program cost 338 billion to make an aircraft that is not yet in service. The 2012 summer olympics cost about 15 billion, thats enough to buy six Curiosity rovers. The bank bailout cost 700 billion, thats more than NASA has spent in its entire fifty years of existence. Compared to other endeavors NASA is cheap and gets more results. So why not go? Most politicians know these facts. They know what they can gain. But they are more concerned with faring well on Election day than dreams and science. They are focused on today with little concern for tomorrow.

Guild Wars 2

These special closed events are open to invited players only. Everything you see in the game is still confidential.

A tribute to the original. Alot of guild wars players were very upset that WWO was even compared to this game, it is still pay to pay as well but a under dog to WWO insubscribers and fan base. Guild Wars 2 is looking to take all the fan base from WOW and I heard if you buy Guild Wars 2, that the original becomes playable. Not sure on that but I heard it. I am downloading 2 right now.

Bariatric surgery

Interested in bariatric surgery? The medical staff for our Well Beginnings program at Houston Northwest Medical Center wants to help those who are severely overweight or morbidly obese explore their options.

Bariatric surgery changes the anatomy of the digestive system to limit the amount of food that is consumed and digested. If your body mass index (BMI) is over 40, you may be a candidate for
this procedure.

Have questions? Ask us. Want to know what this surgery is like, before and after? Read our patient success stories. Looking for people to share your experience with? Write something on our wall or discussion boards.

Ultimately, we'd like to meet you and customize your experience. Make sure to mark your calendar with some upcoming informational seminar dates we'll advertise here.

While some weight rebound may occur, many patients may keep off roughly 100 pounds of the weight they lost over the long term. As each case is different and must be independently evaluated and managed, actual weight loss results vary.
The surgery may resolve or improve some complications associated with being overweight, including diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint pain, and incontinence. Surgery also may improve mobility and quality of life for obese people.

Bariatric surgeries are not without severe risks, including death, and should only be considered as a last resort for weight loss. Weight loss varies according to the individual. This surgery is designed for those with a body mass index equal to or greater than 40, or equal to or greater than 35 with serious co-morbidities.
Advanced Bariatric Surgery is serving the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex under the care of fellowship-trained bariatric and cosmetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Clayton Frenzel.
Dr. Frenzel is one of only a handful of surgeons in the country that is both a fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon and a fellowship-trained cosmetic plastic surgeon. He specializes in bariatric surgery and post-bariatric reconstructive cosmetic plastic surgery.

As the only bariatric surgeon in the D/FW area that is dual fellowship-trained, he can take the patient through the complete transforma
tion, from the pre-bariatric surgery phase, through the bariatric surgery and finally, if they need it, the post-bariatric face and body contouring cosmetic plastic surgery.

Blue Moon 2012

Blue Moon 2012: August To Bring Two Full Moons, an Astronomical Rarity

The first of the two full moons occurs tonight (Aug. 1st). This will be a lunar preview for a "blue moon" rising at the end of Aug. The moon will reach its full phase at 11:27 p.m. EDT tonight (03:27 GMT on Aug. 2nd). It returns big and bright as a full blue moon, Aug 31st. Night sky observers won't have a chance to see two full moons in a single month again until July 2015.

August is the 8th month and holds an 8th numeric vibration. This number represents accomplishments and achievements in money, business, finance, and entrepreneurship. However, it’s best to wait until after August 8 and the passing of the Mercury Retrograde to enter into any financial or career changing endeavor.

August 2012 will feature not 1 but 2 full moons. The full moon occurs once every 29.5 days. This essentially means that there is one full moon every month. However, as we know, every month but February has at least 30 days in it, which presents the potential for two full moons in a month.

August 2012 - is one of these unique months, which will have two full moons. There will be a full moon on August 2nd, and then another full moon on August 31st.

So those of us whom are superstitious in regards to full moons will have two special days in August of 2012.

The term Blue Moon can refer to the second full moon in a given month. When people say "once in a blue moon" they are speaking to the rarity of the occurrence of a second moon happening in the same given month.

Wow!! This is exciting!! Right as so many changes are happening in this world... Things are getting crazy around here!! Once in a while we need to take a moment to just breathe, look up at the amazing night sky, and remember that everything will fall into place at the right time. Thanks for tagging! :)
