If by "They buy a ton of stuff from us" you mean $16.9 billion and "We buy a ton of stuff from them" you mean $81.2 billion. That would be $64.3 billion leaving the US in 2006. Our businesses have offices there because that's where the money is.

Then again, it seems that also means they need us more than we need them which should make them friends indeed.
It's so plainly obvious what the 'right' answers to those questions are and so ridiculous to think that anyone could truthfully answer them 'correctly' that the only logical conclusion you can make about the personality of someone who does so is that they'll lie to you.
BTW, I'd never use the term "fail" when referring to personality tests.
That's problem with personality testing being used for employment. If you don't fit the profile the employer is looking for you've failed. You aren't taking the test for fun but to get a job. If you fail to get the job because of the test then you've failed the test.
Personality testing should never be a matter of passing or failing. That fact alone makes it completely useless to employers. By using the testing to in a pass/fail situation you undermine the results.
Diversity is the strongest attribute of any group. If you specialize the traits, including personality, of your group to those that you *think* are what you want you weaken yourself.
There won't be anything else with as "huge" a "significance" on the 360 platform as the PS3 so the only way to make the release of Halo 3 of "huge significance" is to leverage it against the PS3.
Environmental considerations aside, the problem with nuclear power is that with the efficiency of reactors used by the majority of plants worldwide, and an even conservative estimation at future energy use, the world's nuclear fuel will probably only last another 50 years. Even if all nuclear reactors were converted to the most efficient type we'd get at best 75 years.
Not only does the world have enough coal to last a thousand years with the least conservative estimates of future use, but the US is like the "Saudi Arabia of coal" making coal the most attractive fuel for infrastructure investment.

that's my first impression
All these pro-personality test types in this thread and no answers for a very reasonable and very common situation.
It's just like having conduct policies so strict they are vioated by all employees and are only enforced to get rid of people the boss doesn't like.

I'm curious what it says about your personality that you would continue to expose yourself to physical pain in order to continue this discussion.

People won't invest in nuclear power 'cause it has very short half-life.
Get it? Ha I make myself laugh...
