Any company that uses a personality test as part of the interview I will walk out on. It definitely says something loud and clear about my personality. As to your answer, I say, throw 'em both overboard. Marc Pensieve Functional Entanglement vs. Code Entanglement Static Classes Make For Rigid Architectures Some people believe what the bible says.

Interesting reply, Marc. How does it make you feel? regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

Suppose you are travelling on a boat along with your wife and mother. Suddenly your boat meets with an accident. Now the option is that you can save only 1 person, either your wife or your mother. Whom will you save and why? (This question was asked in a HR interview of a renowned s/w company some months back. I need a logical as well as a witty answer to this question) jhaga It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work. I cannot easily buy a blank-book to write thoughts in; they are commonly ruled for dollars and cents. A[man], seeing me making a minute in the fields, took it for granted that I was calculating my wages. — business! - I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself, than this incessant business. Henry David Thoreau
Chuck Norris doesn't have accidents, accidents have Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris would part the sea and save both his wife and mother. Chuck Norris saved everyone from the Titanic. They are living in Iceland with his wife and mother. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

Just ask all sorts of stupid questions like; - what's the weather like that day? - how long were we been married? - did my mother give me harsh punishments when growing up? - does my wife have a terminal illness? - is my wife pregnant? - am I drunk? Then pretend to think really hard for about a minute and just say.... "I have no clue". :laugh:

Marc - I'm with you. I'd tell the interviewer why they are stuck on stupid and see the reaction :). This is the part of corporate foolishness I simply do not miss.... Charlie Gilley Will program for food... Whoever said children were cheaper by the dozen... lied. My son's PDA is an M249 SAW.
