sumi, I know, right?

It cracked me up that the TAL staff took the inventory and actually expected to score . Every client I see thinks they are much worse than they really are. (except for one, but we shall not go there) They were kind of cute confessing their 'sins' .

The line is classic, because it is so true. "I do not think that word means what you think it means."

Ooops. white fonting for a fun surprise at the end of the TAL piece.

I love that the one that stole that test manual never even considered charging for the tests. It was wrongheaded but hardly antisocial.

That totally cracked me up. And I loved, LOVED how they cut the piece so as to completely bury the lead. Nicely done, TAL.

Interesting article, bonny. Thanks.

I listed to the TAL piece to and I was hee-hawing the whole time. I especially was curious that people thought Ira Glass of all people would score on the test when awkward /= psychopathic. Hilarious. I thought it was notable he mentioned that his coworkers thought he might score high, but what his wife would have speculated was silent. I figured that was our tip that there was no way he (or anyone else on his staff) would have a heartbeat on the test.

I thought that the piece with the British writer interviewing the CEO was interesting. The places where he differed from the psychopaths and the suggestion that perhaps bits of that personality have some evolutionary benefit. (At least, that is what I got out of it - don't think that was what the writer was selling.)
