Need a Hand?

What’s the point of a company doing this? If you’re capable of doing your job then who cares what type of personality you are.
Plus, there’s really only two. You’re either an asshole or you’re not.
haha…this is a training thing Scott is going to. These tests don’t measure your character, just style. (You could take a personality test as a condition for employment in which case they might disqualify you for being a nut).
I once took a “personality test”.
The results said: Try Again. :o(
“From what I’ve heard there are assholes for hire all over craigslist,
and jobs for other openings as well.”
Yeah, all types of positions.
Yeah, its Myers Briggs. Sometimes that degenerates into a kind of “what’s your sign”? but generally it is useful.
It measures
Introversion versus Extroversion on a continuum (i.e. are you primarily energized and stimulted by social contact versus internal processes — sort of obvious meaning),
Intuitive versus Sensing (i.e. are you a nuts and bolts kind of hands on person…sensing…very attuned to the concrete world around you — at one end versus dreamy, living in your imagination on the other end, intuitive),
Thinking or feeling (operate primarily through logic and thinking versus through emotion), and
Judging vs Perceptive (this relates to the need for structure – the judging person is a real planner, needs structure versus perceptive person…go with the flow)
I am Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling and Judging
ENFJ
These things can be explained more and they are…there are specialists in interpreting test results and they measure a continuum. Sometimes some people are extremes.
Often these training things are oriented around understanding your own “style” and interacting with people who are quite different.
“If all the assholes couldn’t get hired, there’d be lots of job openings”
From what I’ve heard there are assholes for hire all over craigslist,
and jobs for other openings as well.
Park Slope Veterinary Care should have thought of a more imaginative name in the first place.
Could play the neighborhood boundaries game re 4th and 19th being Park Slope, though.
Anyone here ever taken the Voight-Kampff personality test?

Question for my law partners (from yesterday’s new vet on 4th ave thread):
Park Slope Veterinary Care – excellent vet practice on 5th Ave/7th-8th Street. Been there close to a decade.
Park Slope Veterinary Center – new sign on vet practice about to open on 4th Ave/19th Street.
Same name except care v. center, same acronym, same line of business, nearly same neighborhood. Oh, and I understand PVC “Care” is getting calls asking if they are the same. Sufficient for an infringement?
