Now, discover a scam

I read Now, Discover Your Strengths today, and took the “StrengthsFinder” quiz. Circuit City is in love with this book, and they give a copy to every employee.

Of the five “themes” which ostensibly are my strongest talents, two are correct, one is so-so, and two are completely, absurdly wrong.

Like most personality tests and fad self-help books, this one is 30% common sense, 30% BS, and 40% a sales pitch for the publisher’s other products. Don’t waste your time on this one.

People are so damned guillible. If I was a little bit more evil, I’d start a religion or become a politician, and capitalize on it.
