minus-squarebitofhope@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 months agoHalf of the Finnish Defence Forces aptitude test is just RPM. The other half is a bizarre and inscrutable questionnaire, which includes questions like “is your father a good man” and infamously “would you like to be a florist”.

minus-squaregerikson@awful.systemslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 months agoI’ve had to do a number of “aptitude tests” in conjunction with applying for jobs[1] and RPMs have been a staple. Swedish Defense Force aptitude test (you kind of stand out as middle aged among all the yoofs taking it) one for a job at a state-owned enterprise one for a job at an outfit selling this stuff for other companies[2] I never really got a good score on them either! [1] I don’t really like this but beggars can’t be choosers [2] like I said, beggars can’t be choosers, lucklily I didn’t have to take the job
