> Now and then I get into situations where I get very angry

I'm guessing the honest answer of 'yes' is incorrect here

kalina

@GnomeSlice never

no customer facing employee ever gets angry

always smiling

always helpful

GnomeSlice

They are asking the same questions over and over with different words

TZHX

lol

kalina

yes, and they'll compare your answers

The correct answers are supposed to read like almost a parody if you would look at it from a reasonable point of view

@kalina always making people wonder if they have brain damage

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice They probably automatically disqualify you if you get them wrong, too.

GnomeSlice

'I get angry', 'I follow the rules', 'I am sensitive to the needs of others', 'I always finish what I start'

kalina

but whatever you do, don't select "Not sure/in between"

WTF

kalina

@ZeroStack that's a question

Zero Stack

I think its hard to quantify how much more time you will be getting out of those expansion packs as it depends on your settings.

@kalina Opps. I mean...

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice You're supposed to be ready 24/7 to go in and work.

Arperum

GOD FUCKING dammit, what idiot uses some IP hardcoded somewhere deep in actionscript. I have to change it to get the whole fucking thing to work, and rebuilding the stupid thing breaks everything, decompiling and recompiling the swf breaks everything.

GnomeSlice

So... agree?

A: What is the difference between Civilization V: Game of the Year Edition and Civilization V: Gold Edition

Civilization V: Gold includes all currently released DLC and expansions. Civilization V: GOTY does not. The major differences are that Gold includes the Wonders of the Ancient World Scenario Pack, Gods & Kings, and the Civilization and Scenario Pack: Korea. GOTY does not. TL;DR: You are not...

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot I'm assuming the actionscript part?

Zero Stack

@Arperum "friggin"

@GnomeSlice if a company knows that you have a temper problem they can either not hire you or, if it's too late, they probably want to work with you and help you fix your issues.

Zero Stack

@kalina lol I was using the original URL for the question.

GnomeSlice

I feel like I've answered all of these wrong

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice If you answered these honestly, yes.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice then you've probably answered them right.

Wipqozn

15:06

Companies that make up these stupid questionnaires don't expect anyone to answer honestly.

Arperum

@OrigamiRobot There, turned your case of f-word into "fucking", better now?

Wipqozn

Because they're terrible and aren't really a good way of judging a persons ability to perform their job.

GnomeSlice

> I prefer activities where I can go at my own slow, deliberate pace.

...Yes?

kalina

no

Arperum

@GnomeSlice No.

GnomeSlice

These ones must be important

@KevinvanderVelden I dunno, Marvel Years is pretty fucking good

Kevin van der Velden

do you report it

Arperum

Zero Stack

@kalina I should have used the HTML <blink> tag...

GnomeSlice

do you confront them and explain how their actions have hurt everyone else

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Yes

Arperum

@GnomeSlice Trick question, no good answer.

GnomeSlice

15:13

@GnomeSlice Yes

GnomeSlice

Jason Berkan

@GnomeSlice Supervisor. It's just like something on the site - mod flag it.

GnomeSlice

@MadScientist Okay, thanks.

Kevin van der Velden

15:14

@GnomeSlice answer A, it's the one they're looking for

GnomeSlice

which one am I LEAST likely to do?

Zero Stack

@GnomeSlice Yes A

GnomeSlice

'nothing'?

They want the one I'm most likely and least likely to do

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice I say A or B are both valid. A is probably safer.

GnomeSlice

Which one is the worst?

Kevin van der Velden

15:15

@GnomeSlice that's difficult, I'd probably say C

GnomeSlice

I hate this test

Zero Stack

@kalina ^^^

GnomeSlice

UGH

Kevin van der Velden

great, where is my burning extension

GnomeSlice

I am never going to finish this

Kevin van der Velden

15:16

@GnomeSlice =[ sucky sucky test

GnomeSlice

I have no idea which one of these to pick

Although D is probably the bad one

Krazer

@GnomeSlice what is this for? IS there a time limit?

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice least likely would be the thing that helps no one, D (as you said while I'm typing)

GnomeSlice

@Krazer Job application. I have no idea

Walmart

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice This is the application for Walmart?

Kevin van der Velden

15:18

Proper answer would probably be A as in, you tell what is the case and ask someone for help

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Yes.

Kevin van der Velden

It's better than E because the customer gets help immediately

StrixVaria

I've seen the people who work there, and I can't believe they passed this.

GnomeSlice

Heh

A doesn't seem right

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria see @GnomeSlice, don't feel bad about lieing

It's expected

Krazer

15:19

@GnomeSlice you can Google most of these

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice well that's the problem with a single answer, proper answer would (IMO) be C+A, explain the situation and get help

Zero Stack

@GnomeSlice I remember taking that! I used to work as a cashier ages ago for holiday support. expect 2000 more questions like those.

GnomeSlice

fucking shit

> A customer is attempting to get you to do something that is against company policy. It will cost the company about $20. You tell her what the normal policy is. The customer yells that you are doing a lousy job and threatens to tell all of her friends about the bad service from your store. Your supervisor is unavailable.

Sconibulus

depending on exactly how out of depth you are, B can work pretty well

GnomeSlice

I chose A for the last one

StrixVaria

15:20

@GnomeSlice I think D...?

Sconibulus

probably A or D

kalina

@GnomeSlice personally I'd say B, but A is probably the answer they're after

GnomeSlice

And the least likely?

Zero Stack

@GnomeSlice Definitely not B

FAE

@ZeroStack Yeah, I filled out one of these for Target way back

Kevin van der Velden

15:21

@GnomeSlice probably A

@GnomeSlice C

Sconibulus

E seems like the worst thing

StrixVaria

I think C is the worst.

Kevin van der Velden

"Threatening" the customer is not a good thing

Powerlord

@FAE Oh god, it's been like a decade, but I remember these types of questions, too.

StrixVaria

Telling someone to calm down will only ever upset them more.

FAE

15:21

@StrixVaria Agreed.

Zero Stack

lol I feel like we are all just throwing different answers at @GnomeSlice

GnomeSlice

Aaaaaaa

FAE

A.

StrixVaria

C is the most passive aggressive, and passive aggressiveness is a surefire way to piss off everyone.

FAE

@Powerlord Back then it was a kiosk in the store too.

kalina

15:22

@GnomeSlice shame there isn't a freetext box, I'd choose C followed by A

Kevin van der Velden

@ZeroStack I think we're given mostly the same answers actually

GnomeSlice

Oh for fuck's sake

> A new associate, doing the same job you do, keeps asking you questions about how to do the job. You just explained all of this to him the day before. He's slowing you down.

I'm going to have to start googling these I think

Lmao B

kalina

@GnomeSlice D or E

FAE

@GnomeSlice D.

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice jeah passive aggresiveness is not the answer here

GnomeSlice

15:23

Is B the bad one?

kalina

@GnomeSlice A and B are terrible

FAE

@GnomeSlice A and B are both bad

kalina

demonstrate you're not a team player

Zero Stack

@KevinvanderVelden Don't you have to get a certain score on these tests to even merit a call back?

Kevin van der Velden

@ZeroStack presumably

kalina

15:23

D is pretty proactive

GnomeSlice

> A customer is attempting to return some merchandise that you believe was purchased elsewhere.

I'm guessing "Explain that the company doesn't carry that brand and politely refuse to accept the return." is the best

Or no

kalina

@GnomeSlice requires a receipt no?

GnomeSlice

refer the matter to someone in customer service

probably

right?

kalina

likely

GnomeSlice

'tell the customer you can not acept a refund without a reciept'

accept

receipt

I hate this

Definitely not 'refund their purchase in cash'

kalina

15:25

@GnomeSlice this

Kevin van der Velden

@GnomeSlice worse option indeed

GnomeSlice

shoplifting

kalina

is an artform

GnomeSlice

I'm guessing call the cops is not the best choice

Krazer

@KevinvanderVelden depends on the tool and the franchise

GnomeSlice

15:26

Or actually

UGH

I'm thinking... E

A is bad

Sconibulus

I love how that question assumes you're qualified to repair it

GnomeSlice

@Sconibulus I don't think it does

C or E

r;uilsgnerlgfbsr

Or D

Irritum in the IGS store

Sconibulus

All of those answers seem like they might be good, depending on the situation

GnomeSlice

@Sconibulus Feck

OrigamiRobot

@Sconibulus No, that's part of the trick.

Krazer

15:30

@GnomeSlice E is ideal for the store, but C is better in terms of customer service

GnomeSlice

All of them but A sound good

@Krazer agh which one

OrigamiRobot

@Krazer C is equally good when you tell them of a nearby store of the same cahin

GnomeSlice

@OrigamiRobot Tht only really works for Tim Horton's.

Krazer

@GnomeSlice did you get any reading material to go with this?

GnomeSlice

@Krazer No.

I'm just gonna go with E

kalina

15:32

@GnomeSlice essentially you don't want to inconvenience your customer

@OrigamiRobot but it just says nearest store, but doesn't mention if it's in the same chain. Context is everything with these types of tests.
