Since I haven't been paying as close of attention to sports as usuall, I am going to post about what I have been spending my time doing: these mind-numbing teacher applications that I have to fill out online if I want a job influencing small children. Every one of these applications requires the typical information you would expect (contact info, job history, teacher license info, references, special skills, etc.). I have to type in all of this information for each job that I apply for (15 & counting) then I have to upload a copy of everything to corroborate it. This generally takes about one hour and can be a pain in the ass due to the fickle nature (dates, phone numbers) of data entry forms on the computer. This is completely expected, but I wish I could just print off the required documents and mail them in with a letter of interest.
The reason that I wanted to share this with our readers is that some of the times the school that I am applying for has a personality test. That's fine, but they always come out of nowhere. Also, when they come up I have no idea how many questions there are and the questions are timed. Why in the middle of the slowest process ever do these schools feel the need to stick in a timed personality test? It can really throw you off. These tests also ask a lot of questions with obvious answers or they will also ask the same question more than once. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!!!! I can't wait till this part of the process is over (which should be soon because I have so far received zero inquiries). Anyways, here is a sampling of the type of questions I have been asked.
Really? This was for a middle school in Helena, Montana. The population is 94.78% White.
Like what? Calling some guy for weed when he's the upstairs neighbor of your friend's brother's girlfriend?
The answer is B. But, how could I answer that? I'm supposed to be empathetic.
What would you do? I have no idea. Why is a 16-year-old taking this news so hard? I just want him to stop crying. He's 16!!!Thanks for listening. I'll be back to posting about sports (baseball) tomorrow.

That is awesome. 16 year olds crying is funny to me. And I don't even do drugs.
Welcome back.
excellent... "fickle"
I now hate Scientologists. I used to just think they were apeshit crazy, but then I wasted 15 minutes taken thier personality test, and they fucking tell me to print it off and drive to Milwaukee to have it evaluated. With gas prices as high as they are, I just can't justify it.
Yes, but if they can figure out why you've been so depressed lately, isn't it worth the 2 hour drive? Also, you don't actually need to be depressed before you go meet with them. I hear they can really help people out with stuff and things. Isn't the psycho religious group up in Shawano a scientologist cult? Or is that something crazier like born-agains?
I'm not sure. I tried to do some research, but it is all innuendos. I've heard some crazy shit, but I don't know if it is true. I do know that some guy from India is the leader. I know it is religious based, and from the looks of things it doesn't appear to be mainstream christian. But I don't know if they believe in aliens either. I just know they live in a compound and eat babies.
