I would whole-heartedly encourage you to give them a piece of paper and a medium-point marker and say "please draw a pig."

If they draw you a package of bacon you'll know what you're in for.

Wha? I'm sorry, i lost track of what you were saying when i read "bacon". Mmmm, bacon.

The clevernothing site, which seems to have disappeared, once hosted a story worthy of the old t.b; it featured a job applicant being asked to draw a pig as part of a job interview.

I think the evaluation went a little something like this: detailed drawings indicated people focused on details, marketing types were more likely to draw the pig face-on, too much attention to the curly tail suggested sexual issues, and so on. The only key I've found is here (http://www.studententerprise.ie/answerkey.shtml), and it's less interesting than I remember, but gives the gist.

A prospective manager who when asked to draw a pig offered a picture of a package of bacon should be avoided at all cost, given that said manager would likely be so focused on results as to think that they "just happen."

And if they draw a police officer, don't hire them, because they are either a filthy hippie or Charles Manson.

Just whatever you do, don't ask him about his mother...

You see a Tortise lying on it's back.

What's a tortoise?

I'm not sure how it would be productive, as I'm convinced that all managers (and manager-wanna-bes) are replicants.

Be careful with the full-page nude photo of a girl question. You could be in trouble if the candidate doesn't know whether this is testing if they're a replicant or a lesbian.

Considering some jobs, sometimes it's better to hire a replicant.

[ikkyu2.livejournal.com]

I need to mark more than one option.

[ronebofh.livejournal.com]

Which ones?

[ikkyu2.livejournal.com]

1, 2, and 4.

[heliumbreath.livejournal.com]

Just make sure you wear a bulletproof vest to the interview.

Dude, You Have to Think Galaxtically

[drieuxster.livejournal.com]

I mean, Dude... What ARE you going to do when suddenly you are working for a Non-Earthling who is NOT a Replicant...

It is like SOOO Depressing that Pete Wilson did not address the Whole Illegal Immigrant Thing, back when we could still send those types back to Area 51 where they belong!!!! Now Don't Get Me Wrong, Some of my best friends are non-terran, but that doesn't mean I want them moving into my neighborhood, or sucking out the Brain Waves of my Daughter....
