These are not your typical jobs - everything in here appears to be to uncover skeletons prior to confirmation hearings. They are looking for conflicts of interest, possible improprieties, prior inconsistent public statements, etc. The last thing any president wants is to appoint someone, only to have a skeleton emerge during confirmation, which makes it look like either (1) they haven't done their homework or (2) they exercise poor judgment.

Of course and I agree, I was just responding to those that said it was standard stuff. Standard for a job like that maybe, but not for the general public.

Yea, I thought that was the standard stuff WalMart & Burger king asked on their applications.

I assume constantly - it gives me that "edge" that the ladies find so attractive.

when I was 16 I failed the personality test to work at Kmart. when I was walking in to take it the HR lady gave me a look and told me to be sure to answer honeslty...

the questions were BS like, "would you ever consider becoming a professional clown"... so I"m thinking... if the money was amazing, you bet... so sure... and "would you ever steal something" ... sure everyone would in some situation... don't say never right? I bombed the test. They were amazed. I guess they just wanted me to lie.
