Nora, sending much ~ma to Tom's mom.
Nonexistent segue...
Trudy, you totally made me laugh with that. I can only imagine it was even funnier with the comedian's delivery.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Vibing for Tom's family.
I got "In these four columns choose the words that you think describe how people expect you to act" and "In these four columns choose the words that you think actually describe you" and that was it.
MM, you may have just taken the Predictive Index test. My employer in MI used to use that--maybe you've applied there.

~ma for Tom & Nora & family
MM, that is one interesting "interview." I think they should have had follow-up questions along the lines of "Choose the word that describes how you will actually act."
Very happy ND is back from jury duty.
Oh, and obviously NOT IT. Me or ND.

Well, it's a supervisor position, but they didn't have "megalomaniacal", "tyrannical" or "despotic" as options.

If it is actually the PI, they don't actually pay any attention to the characteristics you've chosen. What they do is map your answers against a large database of answers from known quantities. Then they tell you a result based on who you match up with--sales, tech, customer service, self-employed, etc.
It is kinda interesting, and I now wish I hadn't lost my results.

Damn! Then how "predictive" can it really be?

I was just thrown because...well, it doesn't test my actual abilities. Just my self-images...how I think others perceive me and how I perceive myself.
Which doesn't really address how I might actually, ya know...do the job.
Just weird.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
SO MUCH ~ma for Tom and fam.
Job~ma for MM.
I am not knocked up. In the current situation, the second I do get knocked up, you will watch me beat a path to Canada so fast they'll think the Stanley Cup is coming home.

I have friends in a mixed US/Canadian relationship who just did that. After the baby was born though.

Trust me--they're not paying attention to the details. Just to the stats. We tested all our existing employees and then used it as a part of the interview for applicants, and it was really rather good.
