DS, 25, failed a "corporate compatibility" test after two good interviews at an assisted living place where he would like to work. Now they may agree to let him have modifications and RETAKE test by having it read out loud to him, they did let him use a calculator.Where can I find some examples or samples of this type test? He filled out a very long application today online for Fresh Market that had some similar questions, so it was GREAT to get to work with him and talk to him about reasoning these stupid tests. For example, it wanted to know if you have a co-worker with dire financial straits, and you see her take something do you 1. tell mgr 2. tell her about financial assistance. 3. loan her money ... well DS picked "Loan her $$!" That was his problem at JobCorps, anybody could get money out of him.Another one that neither I or my husband could answer was "Who is responsible for insuring that safe work practices are followed?" 1.

Safety experts, 2. superiors 3. managers 4. safety trainee or 5. employees." seems to me bottom up, start with employees, but I HAVE NO IDEA! I never had to do this.Who comes up with this stuff!!! Anyway, figure there must be some similar ones out there if anybody has some ideas. thanks, allsue in TN__________________________________________________

Thanks! I couldn't agree more...why not give him a carrot and ask him to

nne it!!!!!

Instead they are self-evaluating questions. My son is not a self-evaluater. He

has no philosophy of life yet! He could not answer stuff like this, but how to

explain that to them.

I am also hopeful that his Disability Program Navigator that is part of the

Career Center mentioned they offer a program to pay an employer during DS

training. And then if they want to hire him...well where has this guy been! It

took multiple phone calls and emails, but at least, he finally went to this

Asst. Living center to talk to them about DS retaking the test and this program!

DS sent a thank you note to interviewer the other day who asked what his " work

ethic " is. DS is not good with the BS that you are expected to spout. So he

spent a lot of time on computer working on what it is, he didn't know. Just like

the question that asked about " integrity " and he didn't know the meaning of that

word.

What does this have to do with culinary!!!!!!If they have five great references

(three from previous employers) that should be sufficient!
