This is an advertisement for a $50 quiz with 36 multiple choice questions.

Interesting flashback article from 1998!<p>Here&#x27;s a more recent podcast on behavioral profiling, Scott Britton with Steve Sisler&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RYywbJT5TOU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=RYywbJT5TOU</a>

I wonder how the effectiveness of this test in the workplace would stack up against the following:<p><pre><code> * Myers Briggs * Big 5 * Weekly horoscope * Sugar pill * Japanese radio calisthenics</code></pre>

I was expecting yet another Myers-Briggs, but I found the actual test (36 questions, each with 4 aspects and least&#x2F;most options) interesting. I don&#x27;t know how effective it&#x27;ll be at gauging employees, but I think it does a good job of minimizing opportunities for &#x27;gaming&#x27; the test. Almost all the options are fairly neutral.<p>I took the test, but sadly, I&#x27;m not willing to pay that $50 to see the results!

Feels like 1960s writing
