Nightmare one of the worst I've ever experienced. I can't talk about it because I know it would trigger so many people to go to so many bad places, it's unbelievable.
But what triggered the nightmare? Please let me tell you. Today I took a psychological test for a job placement. I had no idea it would be that type of test. I was told to go in for a "computer skills" test. Do you like being lied to? I don't. But that's not even the point. I went in. I started doing the "test". First screen, they had my phone number incorrectly entered. I fixed that, turned to the woman watching me, and said, "That's part of the test, isn't it?" At this point I still hadn't clued in. Anyway, I get to the instructions and I'm still not really clue-ing in. But I listen and I take my time - there's 150 questions, in five different formats. The questions repeat themselves in various ways in the different sections. I answer as honestly as I can, and believe me, sometimes it takes awhile because the answers are usually black and white. I'm a person who sees grey in almost everything. I'm one of those super-understanding types of people who always run into trouble with that when it comes to intractable personality types. Well, a test like this is has that type of personality.
I get to the second section of the test, and because it's a cashier position, it's about product-code recognition, memory, math, and till skills. I do it and it takes me longer than it should because by this time let me tell you I'm exhausted I'd had an exam in the morning as part of my college course and a full class - and I'm feelin it. So I know I didn't do my best. But that's not the worst part.
