here is a standard question I use when I interview candidates.

"Give an example of a time when you have taken on board less than flattering feedback and changed the way you do things."

My kids say my cooking is sh!te, so I give them McDonalds now and they're as happy as Larry.




Would I pass?

I'd venture that those people with the ability/mindset to pass them don't think they're ridiculous.

I've never failed a single one of these clicky button personality tests and I am sad to report that I find them utterly ridiculous.

"A customer is unhappy. You've been unable to resolve the situation. What do you do?
A) Remain clam. Escalate the incident to your line manager.
Set fire to yourself.
C) Throw a tiger at the customer."

"Would you describe yourself as
A) A team player
An island, a lone gunman, doesn't play well with others
C) A ruthless, calculating maniac."

They're a complete waste of time. With no real insult to the OP, I didn't really think it was possible to fail the things...

(that said, I've never done them for ASDA - but plenty for IT / Professional jobs...I wonder if ASDA's are rather more vigerous)

To be honest fail or not I think (from personal expereince at least) you stand a very slim chance of getting a job there anyway...

Several years ago I applied - at the time there were about 30 jobs advertised as it was a fairly new store, had the online test which I passed, went to a group interview - again which I passed and then got told 'oh if any jobs come up will contact you' only to never hear from them again until 6 months later saying they were no longer keeping my details on file. Whats the point advertising for jobs that dont even exist?

They are ridiculous. Everyone knows that you can't get tigers in Asda. Fire is the only way to go.

C and A.

Since a tiger would need three people to lift it.

maybe Truego isn't malleable enough to be an Asda trained monkey, there are
a certain type who work at Asda

And what would that type be - as someone who is a mature student and works weekends in Asda, I find that comment rather insulting. On a Sat night and Sun night it is all students who are working on the tills, we're not monkeys, we're merely doing our job, providing a service. People take supermarket jobs for a variety of reasons, it's not fun saying the same thing over and over again, but it's our job and we do it professionally - otherwise we get disciplined!
