Ozpolitic's Dunderheads

[Aussie]

For a giggle, I did the test....and tailored my answers to get the outcome I wanted, which was very easy. Just garbage, Roach, sheer crap.

Why would anyone want to be dishonest to and about themselves... you take the cake Useless.

Or are you just making stuff up because the results
1/ weren't what you expected or
2/ embarrassed you

They were exactly as I expected. I gave the questions the most outrageous extreme right slant answer as was available. I could equally have given the obvious middle of the road responses, or those of a left slant. Dumb test, used by dumb dumbs.

Well following your logic all questionnaire based assessments are just bull because people could lie.

If you are not honest some are dsigned to try and catch you out.

I guess one of the tests used all over the world for over 90 years is just rubbish too.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions.[1][2][3] These preferences were extrapolated by Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers from the typological theories proposed by Carl Gustav Jung, and first published in his 1921 book Psychological Types (English edition, 1923[4]). Jung theorized that there are four principal psychological functions by which we experience the world: sensation, intuition, feeling, and thinking.[5] One of these four functions is dominant most of the time.

You slag off what you don't understand.

You cannot be honest even in a anonymous questionnaire that might give an indication which way you lean... beyond your sexual preferences I mean.

Anyone can answer the questions to get the result they want. That's not the point.

Tell me aussie, to a hypothetical scenario what would you do:

You are in Germany at the outbreak of WW2. Your are a loyal German citizen. You have been asked to be a guard at a death camp... they say it is your patriotic duty. If you don't do it you may be putting your life at risk. Would you take the job?

If you can't be honest even to yourself Useless (formally known as Aussie) then I suggest you stop participating in all things.
You could start with this forum, then PA copy then Ozpolitics... etc, etc, etc. After all YOU are just wasting everybody's time.

Who is doing the asking?

Good clarification question.

It's not your brother or friend.

Someone who may let it be known to the authorities (willingly or as a duty) that you did not take the job.

There is no correct answer. It is a theoretical dilemma and challenges whatever virtue you want me to display, in theory. I could take the job and be damned by some who would allege I ought to have taken the suicide option. Or, I could refuse, and basically choose be executed for not bloody much other than a pretty useless, non productive suicidal display of what some would say was integrity. Ultimately, dunno.....I guess you'd actually have to be really presented with the problem, and not just in theory, because in theory, everyone's gonna elect to be the suicidal hero.

Fair response.

I have thought about this and discussed it when I lived in Germany. Looking into the this I think it is as you said a hypothetical problem.

I have concluded this for myself. if I was to be really honest, if my life or my families life/livelihood or the potential consequences so severe I would probably take the job as most did. Who knows, Germany may win the war and the 3rd Reich will rein for a thousand years. I would probably comply but hopefully not turn into the monster that some (a minority) became.

Morally in hindsight is the privilege of those who were not involved and were never in such a situation.

Oh goody, boofy has started yet another thread about his favourite subject... Himself.

Done the test about ten times. Every so often someone posts it up I always come up as a centrist.
