Since I mentioned the 63-question test, I should note that you can see it here (.pdf) and take it yourself.
Could you work for the Obama administration? I doubt that I could. In fact, I'd flunk this test on question one. And what about this crazy number 32:
Other than from relatives, or from close and longstanding personal friends on
occasions such as birthdays or seasonal holidays, have you or your spouse ever received a gift exceeding $50.00 in value? Please identify the donor, the value of the gift, the date received and the circumstances in which the gift was made.
Say what? So if a friend shot me dinner in 1993, and it came to $101.42, I'm supposed to remember that? I hardly see how forgetting such a circumstance would disqualify me from putting the people first.
I suppose this really isn't meant to apply to $101 dinners in 1993, but to things like, "Oh, the head of a major pharmaceutical firm bought me a jet ski that one time." Anyway, you will see that not many people could pass this muster, or that it would hard to do so (and expensive, because obviously applicants have to have their lawyers and accountants enlisted in an effort like this).
