    You can hope that at least they were using the Minnesota personality assessment test.

    The really stupid places farm this testing to fucking scientologists. If that's you, the answers are mostly obvious. For some reason you should read/memorize bus schedules when not otherwise busy, remember that, plus tell them what they want to hear and you should score 100%

    If you run into the scientology test, it's a sure sign there is a clam with rank in the organization. Flee.

    Boiled in a bag is still boiled.

    Good beef takes 5 minutes to fully cook. Maximum. But I _like_ the taste of beef.

    If you are slow cooking a steak, you are doing it completely wrong. That's for brisket, but smoke it don't boil it.

    'Role models' are the people that have figured out the 'right' answers to personality test questions.

    3d shooters/sneakers are at the 'Commodore 64 sprite game saturation point'. They've just been beaten to death, nothing really new there for a decade now.

    Nobody is at all excited about them as they are largely interchangeable. Hard to get a premium or charge rent for 'interchangeable'.

    It's past time for something new.

    It's not casual games on phones, those are just sprite games again, which are sort of new to kids.
