OK, I am a lawyer, but this is not legal advice.

About 30 years ago I applied for a job as an attorney with a Fortune 100 company. They liked me but said I had to take a psychological test to qualify for the job. They wanted me to go take it the same day but I told them I couldn't do it until two days later.

In the meantime, I went to the public library and read William Whyte's book, "The Organization Man." http://www.amazon.com/Organization-Man-William-H-Whyte/dp/0812218191/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1231883226&sr=1-1 At the end of the book is an appendix on "How to Cheat on Personality Tests." Very helpful. In fact, I think the test described in the book was the very same one I took.

So what happened? I didn't hear from them for just over a year. Then they called and wanted to hire me. By that time I had taken another job far away and didn't look back.
