I agree with you and Jaq. Silence is golden and more would be welcome. Jaq - you would win the prize of "The most Audacious and strongly supportive commentator of the Year on the B-J.com site - never failing to raise a smile" Hello Conor

I agree with you and Jaq. Silence is golden and more would be welcome.

Jaq – you would win the prize of “The most Audacious and strongly supportive commentator of the Year on the B-J.com site – never failing to raise a smile”

I've had a wonder around your site and I must say the quality of the leadership discussion is rather good. I've also tried some of the other tests and I am sorry to say I'm not so impressed -particularly in discovering that the star who is the closest to me in musical tasts is Nicole Kidman. Gracious, if that ever got out everyone would think I liked Moulin Rouge. This is a round about way of agreeing with what Jaq said about the failings of a limited amount of choice.

For example, a test in a womans mag asks: if your man suddenly wants to go out with his mates every friday would you a) sulk, b) say "great let's go" c) phone your mates and make sure you stay out later. The questioner assumes one is miffed by the question and does not include the option of relief. Such as a) you're finally glad he's found some friends b) you're happy to have a few hours of peace and quiet, or clangers then Top Gear and Led Zeppelin without him c) you're over the moon he'll be out of the house long enough for you to change the locks. I mean, there are just SO MANY possibilities in life. Mine are never there and I can't try the quiz cause my PC won't let me. Oh well, said Eeyore. Yo Melissa, what about end of year awards then? Totally undemocratic please - given under the rules of: we thought it was a good idea at the time. For longest post? Most posts? (no not me hopefully) Most flattering to Boris post? (I'm in with a chance then, but every word was true) What prize? With Boris's connections can we have the journalist of our choice? I choose dinner cooked by Rachel and only one gravy jug.

I am glad to hear that the tests have been doing the rounds in your office and that they accurately summed you all up. Stroke of genius they are and quite compulsive once you do a couple. Perhaps Paxman and other interviewers could have some fun by asking the leadership candidates to do one of them - then we would truly know what they are like on the inside. .. Newsnight tonight?..

The result was, it seems to me, eerie. With the exception of the last line it was me! A couple of other people in the office tried it - we were of course hard at work - and it rather summed them up. I'm beginning to see now why employers have these strange tests for potential employees. What about giving the test to the two leadership candidates?
