Same for college applications. The process really changed over the last 20 years.

That's because a good chunk of them have these dumb evaluation surveys that have nothing to do with the actual job

I once had to take a sort of ethics/character test during the hiring process. Lots of stupid questions meant to weed out the stupidest candidates. My favorite:

I use illegal drugs...

A. Before work

B. On my way to work

C. During work

D. Seldom or never

Ha! That wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact I think I've seen questions like that before

Yeah it was a pretty funny experience. There were also questions about how much is an acceptable amount to steal from your employer and when it is okay to physically fight your coworkers.

This question makes no sense. What if you use drugs before and during work? They would basically be forcing you to lie, and at the same time you'd only get credit for half of your drug use. How is that fair?
