In a meeting the other day, the Human Resources expert presented a clever psychometric tool to profile candidates applying for jobs within a programme I’m running. He displayed a slide showing various types of behaviour that are assessed by the process, and commented:

“Somebody would either be dominant or quite accepting. They might be very compliant, or not.”

Needless to say, I scribbled his comments down verbatim, once I’d picked myself off the floor.

I’m now looking forward to the recruitment process, and to meeting all these submissive, compliant young ladies. I’m so grateful to HR for doing the initial filtering for me.
