Unfortunately, these types of tests are quite slanted, and as an Aspie you need to know how to answer the questions to fit what they are looking for. This can often be difficult to do, given many Aspie's have a strong honesty streak and find answering differently than they really feel not an option. Still, we sometimes need to play the game just to get the job…
If this is the level I have to sink to in order to "get the job", then I would rather not work for such a company. Any idiot with half a brain can clearly see that these tests are specifically designed to weed us out, to discriminate in favour of morons who like to waste the company's time engaging in office politics and gossip, and all for the sake of being a "team player" and "fitting in".
I have only ever been confronted with one example of such a test (in Australia they are still relatively unknown), and I knew what the "correct" answers to the questions were, even though the meaningless disclaimer told me there were "no correct answers to the test" (yeah, right). Of
course there are correct answers, ones that they want you to give. I still gave honest answers to the questions though, because I simply do not accept the belief that so many employers seem to have about us that, because of our lack of social skills, we aren't fit to work. It's called "work" for a very good reason - we are there
to do a job. What else?!
