Good work young man. You may make 2IC yet.

My hands have just warmed up enough to type... I think I'm off to get some heated gloves later, or possibly tomorrow.

hello hello... flibble here. How's everyone on this fine cold day? I chickened out and drove into work with the heater on full blast....

Had to go to an interview this morning so I left at 5.30 am. Oh my lord was it cold. Had to do a bunch of psychometric testing and I was so cold that I could barely hold the pencil for the first test!

did you find out if you're a gifted candidate?

Not yet. I think I flunked the maths test and aced the verbal reasoning. I only got a 3rd of the way through the maths (was too cold to think) but warmed up for the verbal and nearly finished it - its important to note that the tests are designed so that you wont finish them!

I have to ride to Bristol on Sunday for impending christmas, panniers full of presents and all.. I am taking bets on whether it will rain, snow, or just be friggin cold .

I love psychometric testing...its the biggest mugging going. It makes me laugh that increasing importance is placed on it.

Aside from aptitude tests, i like the ones that are meant to determine what sort of person you are;

"you see a bag full of kittens floating down the river...do you:

A: wade in and save them
B: let them drift past...entirely apathetic
C: throw a series of boulders to help them on there way"

IMHO give the candidates a relevant business task/problem and get them to find a solution, then present the hell out of it.
