I have a distinct memory of being asked if I was afraid of snakes in the face-to-face test (it stuck out because it seemed so out of place) which wasn’t in the online version I just did. There was indeed a glossy pamphlet at the end of the day.
I was only just E on the online test and I got the impression that some of the questions I found particularly difficult to answer were the primarily E/I questions.
The test I took was a group test, I think we wrote down our answers while the questions were being read to all of us and then scored them ourselves. I don’t remember a question about snakes or anything about fear. I took the test in 2006.
I took the test over 10 years ago so I only have marginal confidence in my memories of it but the snake question stood out at the time and it seems an odd detail to confabulate out of nowhere so I am inclined to think the memory is probably genuine. It is entirely possible there is some cross-contamination of the memory from elsewhere however.
I have a half memory that the snake question may have been part of some kind of calibration process where the interviewer got the interviewee in the habit of answering questions quickly with their ‘gut’ response and not hesitating or deliberating over the question too much. That is an even less reliable memory than the snake question however.
