"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Just curious about the psych tests that companies are now making people take before submitting a job application. I went for a part time job and I had to fill out a 24 page test online with different questions. Basically they ask you a question and you pick 4 choice from strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree.

To make a long story short I failed. Maybe they found out im crazy or something but honestly I have been a good employee to all my past employers. How much can they honestly expect to learn through these tests?

And also how do they determine if you fail/pass?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

How did you fail?

It's a damned psychological test, not a job placement test!

edit: Okay maybe it is a job placement... how honest were you? 'They' say there are false scales inputted into each of the psych tests to find anybody who will 'fake' their personality.

PS where did you take the test, it will probably help us answer you.

I had to take such a test for the army. I didnt say "yes" to some crazy questions because I didnt want them to send me to a crazy people hospital. I'm not joking. But still they said I'm not entirely sane. This sh!t scared me!

I hate that kind of crap and think it's kind of invasive. Where the hell am I applying, the f*cking NSA? I just answer the questions however makes me look best.

It's called a "personality inventory". What it does is basically shows the employer whether your personal profile fits the job and the only way you can fail is if you fall for all the traps. Which means that you try to make yourself look good throughout the test but fail to remain consistent somewhere because of the traps. You might have noticed that they asked the same question maybe 3-4 times, but each time they worded it differently and each question was spread out between something like 30-50 other different questions.
