I had to give a wrong answer to get the job (2017)
Heh. Happens all the time with tests and questionnaires, the choice is always frustrating:<p>* <i>&quot;Does the author really mean what they are asking? Are the mistakes in the phrasing or corner cases intentional, meant to catch me, test my deep knowledge?&quot;</i>, or<p>* <i>&quot;Is the author just not very good with logic &#x2F; not thinking this through?&quot;</i><p>I go with the latter in &quot;soft social&quot; contexts. Never regretted it yet.<p>This saved my hide recently in June, when I had to undergo a mandatory psychological examination for my gun license permit. Serious official stuff, with my permit on the line… And the &quot;serious&quot; psy-test was exactly as &quot;robust&quot; you&#x27;d expect from the field of psychology.<p>I answered the way I figured the test author construed the questions (= what they likely meant to ask), not what they <i>actually</i> asked. Easy pass.
