Heh. I tend to test into the "serial killer, hide the family pet" category
too. Seriously, I am not by nature a team player. So what? I have the
resources and skills to interact very effectively. I get results. Which is
what my resume and references and clips show. So why not check them?

Definitely a scam.

The "team player" tech writer:
- Accepts marketing's description of the UI without testing it.
- Agrees to have the printed books ready to ship three days
after code freeze.
- Never ruffles engineering's feathers by reporting bugs.

But that ain't nuthin'! My wife's a quality engineering manager
and has been chastised for not being a team player.

The "team player" quality manager:
- Signs off for material that does not meet spec.
- Agrees to produce test results for the three-week
aging test in three hours.
- Ignores obviously faked results handed in by lab techs.

For certain positions in a company (accounting and safety come
to mind, too) you do not want someone who scores well as a
team player. On the other hand, those psycho tests are selected
and administered by good team players. Scam. Yeah, scam.
