On a completely random note; I watched an episode of "The Monkees" today...
"Minnesota Multiphasic Inventory Test"
I'd be fired and possibly locked up - I resent things of this nature so much I tend to lie on them when the results are viable by other, especially when the results are viewable to others before they are to me. These things are fallible; it can't identify faking if I don't believe I am faking at the time, can it?
(Almost philosophical there: "Is a lie still a lie if you believed it as truth the moment you spoke the words?" - I thought about that earlier - and all it lead me to believe is that some shady defense attorney would use that logic

Of course, I'm sure they interpret these things to say whatever-the-hell they want them to. But even if you believe the tests would be scored 100% accurately, do we wanna give them the right to test that?
Yeah. This shit makes me livid! So much for personal freedoms, eh? An' if you speak out against the companies' rights to do this, you're always asked what you're hiding? Kinda like there's no other reason you'd insist the police have a search warrent before combing through your personal items, unless you were guilty. (I feel the same way about companies right to insist on drug testing. But I've ranted on that before...)
