Take this quiz if you are considering working with someone.

    In the Quiz, you will be asked questions about your management style and your knowledge of
    people skills. Keep in mind, in many cases there is no single "correct" answer to these questions;
    in matching people, we believe it's more important to match them by how well their test answers agree.

    There are no trick questions on this quiz, but there are no obvious answers either.
    When writing each multiple-choice question, we did not embed "the right answer"
    in a sea of "wrong" ones. Rather, we borrowed all the answers from actual attitudes and
    statements given by real people, some of whom were like you, some of whom were not.
    Compatibility is a function of two people, not just one, and so,
    in order to get the highest possible compatibility score, you'd have to choose
    the same answers as the person whose compatibility you are measuring.
    So in other words, the "right" answer really depends on the two people taking the quiz.
    This makes our quiz more challenging, or more freeing, depending on your viewpoint.

    


People Skills:

    Which of the following statements are rude, verbally abusive, or tactless:
         You can't do anything right.
         You don't have a very good web site.
         This is a food discovered by the Indians.
         The total stranger who says "You need to lose about 25 pounds."
         I read that book last year.
         Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
         You don't really have a headache - you just don't want to go with us.
         You're no fun.
         You're worthless.
         You're too honest.
         That's a stupid idea.
         You seem unhappy.
         I've noticed you working here the last few weeks. You must be new. Would you
            like to go out sometime?
         Telling someone who's working at a computer, "Stop playing on the computer
            and get to work."

    Check if true:
         All of the above statements are acceptable if said in a joking or laughing tone of voice.
         It's OK to be less tactful with people after you get to know them better.
         Too many people value political correctness above honesty. I believe in
            saying what's on my mind; people should just learn not to be offended by that.
