Yesterday I sat down to fill out an (intelligence) assessment for a job I kind of applied to. "Kind of?" you might ask. Well, yes, actually. I met a woman who was recruiting for this company, she took my information then sent me a quick application. WTH, I thought, and filled it out. Then a couple of days later came this assessment.

The first part was some basic questions from a personality-type assessment. You know, the "choose which one describes you best: brave, assertive, dominant, commanding". And then went on from there. Afterwards came this logic portion with 35 questions. These are the two that stumped me and to be honest, I think I guessed on 5. Number 7 I finally had to break out pen and paper and write them down.

On a side note, if I got any of the others wrong, don't tell me. Right now I'm thinking I'm smarter than the average bear and I want to ride this high for a moment.

I hate them, but they are a necessary evil to make sure companies get quality people. I've done a few of these recently.

#7 is E cuz four line segments in an E. #5 took me a good while, but it's 10. Won't give it away unless asked.

Ryanne Dolan that's what I went with, too.

Yeah, the only pattern I've found so far for #5 would make the next number 20, which isn't even an option. ><

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
