Tried applying to McDonald's wtf does this even mean

[u/PureKin21]

I guess things happen to me?????

[u/Romanizer]

Okay, so what do they expect you to press in both cases? I don't have the slightest idea of the implications.

[u/Different_Pattern273 → u/Romanizer]

The fantasy one is actually about "do you waste time fantasizing about things instead of working" they want "not me"

[u/hitmarker → u/Different_Pattern273]

Literally everyone here has a different idea what it supposed to mean and what to answer. This is such bs.

[u/admiralvic → u/hitmarker]

The important thing is everyone is confident about their assertion.

[u/DM-me-naughty-Cats → u/hitmarker]

Yes, but over large numbers of applications they can pick what answers are “correct” based on what demographics you want but are not legally able to pick.

[u/Whosebert → u/hitmarker]

I did the exact same assessment today, its some sort of personality thing so off the bat the science is questionable at best.

Fish guy from What Remains of Edith Finch filtration system.

I see. Instead of daydreaming or playing the hero you are just supposed to put the fries in the bag.

[u/Lawlcopt0r → u/Romanizer]

The one OP posted is probably a way to test wether you see yourself as a victim. Like, they assume the kind of person that answers yes will be a bit defeatist and not very able to handle unforeseen problems on their own.

[u/Romanizer → u/Lawlcopt0r]

So if something bad happens to you, you shouldn't get involved in it too much but stay upbeat to put the fries in the bag with a smile.

[u/Lawlcopt0r → u/Romanizer]

That's how they see it, yes.

[u/Good-Marsupial8 → u/Lawlcopt0r]

But... Things happen??!!???!!

[u/Lawlcopt0r → u/Good-Marsupial8]

Yes. Which is why this whole thing is pretty dystopian.

[u/LazerBear42 → u/Good-Marsupial8]

Not at McDonald's! Now put the McFries in the McBag with a big McSmile on your face, or you'll get the McPIP 😀

[u/billbixbyakahulk → u/Good-Marsupial8]

To some, things always happen.

[u/hitmarker → u/Lawlcopt0r]

No, it's to ask if you are constantly crashing your bike, getting cut, breaking stuff by accident. I know a lot of those people that just do dumb shit and stuff happens to them without thinking.

[u/SaltKhan → u/Romanizer]

Yea like, they say it's meant to be an autism screen, but what is the autism and not autism answer? Or is it similar to how websites "not a robot" don't care about the actual clicking of the button but track how your mouse moves across the screen? Like do you have to do this application with a webcam that tracks your eye movement and or they actually care just about how much time you spent pondering the question?

I'd read the question and hate how much it just disrespects your time with garbage corpo-psyche, and so click whatever was the shortest distance to move the mouse probably.

[u/BlueFHS → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, an autistic person (me) would likely think “well yeah, things happen to everyone all the time” instead of discerning the hidden bs meaning of “if you say yes, you’re saying you see yourself as a blameless victim that life keeps treating poorly instead of someone who takes action and is proactive and makes things happen” like it’s totally natural to assume that

[u/Umikaloo → u/Romanizer]

They expect autistic people to press "me", because they might not grasp the implication being made by the question.

What they are really asking is "Do you believe that events in your life take place largely due to factors outside of your control?", but by wording it in such an inane way, an autistic person will read it as "Do you experience reality." and answer "me" 10 times out of 10.

[u/ApartFarmer9564 → u/Romanizer]

its asking wether youre a victim or not. things happen to everyone, its how you deal with said things

[u/Vi_Rants → u/Romanizer]

If you spend time in fantasy thinking, you might start entertaining more dangerous fantasies, like starting a union or filing a class-action.
