Subject:Re: Tests to Select Competent Writers From:Laurie Rubin <lmr -at- SYL -dot- NJ -dot- NEC -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 7 Mar 1995 13:20:17 -0500
When I lived in Israel during late 70's, early 80's, psychological testing and
handwriting analysis (all in English) were popular HR interview tools. I
actually lost out on a writing job early in my career because the test analysis
indicated that I would be better off being a salesperson than a writer.
True, I have the personality to be a salesperson, and I even did sales for a
while, but I have also been a successful tech writer during the majority of my
16 years of professional life.
