That is correct. IBM, a lifetime career opportunity, declined to make me a job offer after the personality test. The one who recommended me to check out IBM found out I had scored too high on the general smarts part of the test, and reassembled the typewriter much too quickly. It's funny, GE did make an offer, but it turned out the job was over and everybody laid off after three years, which they probably knew would happen, so getting bored and quitting wasn't a consideration.

ROFL!!!! Having had the pleasure of working with IBM, I can honestly say that I'm not surprised. Management, in their global services division at least, was comprised completely and uniformly of the most incompetent misfits that I'd ever had the displeasure of doing business with.

Their techs were OK. But management.....wow. Proved the Peter Principle to a T.
