I'm trying to get a promotion to a teller manager or a personal banker, working 5 blocks from my house at a new branch as my bank changes from Nebraska State Bank (NSB) to Mutual of Omaha Bank (MoOB or MofO Bank[snicker snicker]). I applied for the positions a month and a half ago.
Tuesday I get a call saying they'd like me to go on to step two, an online personality assesment. The lady asks me if I'd be able to get it done by Friday morning. No problem, of course. I get the email last night at 1030p. They had sent it at 230p, but I had a half day so I wasn't much concerned about my emails. I read it, says much the same thing, tells me I need to complete it by 3pm on 9/6/07. I assume that's Friday, as the lady said.
I'm finishing my laundry at 1230a so I can wear socks to the bank today and a random thought slides through my brain, connecting the date with random numbers, 5-7. I pull out my phone, look to see that it's Sept 06 and realize that, tired as I am, I'm in no shape to do a personality test that can take 1.5 hours. So I called my supervisor at 8a, she let me come into work after I got the assessments done.
They were all true or false with questions like, and I kid you not:
"If I were in charge I could really get this country moving again."
"I have powerful enemies."
"I can do things better than people I know."
"I enjoy punting small dogs."
Ok, that last one is fake. I hate personality tests.

Did Dwight K. Schrute write this test? Sheesh.
"Sometimes I feel my power around me."
Yeah, they sound like Dwight questions.
Why did they test you for personality? everyone has one, and some one like you has more than your share!
