Going into B&Q and trying to find a member of staff, I found ’em alright, all attending some sort of training session, I asked at customer services for the store plumber,
‘They are all in a training session and cannot be disturbed’ I was told
‘ What are they being trained for?’ says I, a bit irrate and in need of advice, I was right in the middle of a job installing a new basin, water turned off tools scattered everywhere job not going too well and the parts I bought were not working etc etc

‘Customer Assistance Improvement Programme’ she says,

Grrrrrr :evil: :evil: :evil:

Its true that Druid about B&Q you wander round looking for staff & your garunteed every one of them is always in the wrong section , you ask em for something in plumbing & they say oops sorry im electrical , the plumbing guy should be knocking around somewhere ….
I`ll tell you what you wanna have a go at this for a laugh mate

Its an online application form , multiple choice questions & at the end it tells you weather or not your suitable for employment within the company Its virtually impossibe I know loads who have tried & failed , It just makes you wonder though how the plonkers who work there actually got on, especially at the end where it says your personality isnt what were looking for ……..

I also think Bat should have a go at it too as reading her thoughts on it could be quite amusing :lol: :lol: :lol:

just had another go at it myself its very amusing honestly :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your Personality Profile
Print

Thank you for completing the questionnaire. You will see your scores below, along with some written feedback.Your scores are expressed in sten (standard ten) scores, which reflect the normal distribution of the personality factors throughout the general population. The average scores for the general population are scores of 5 or 6 and these scores are achieved by approximately 38% of people. Scores of 4 or 7 are achieved by a further 30%, scores of 3 and 8 by 18 %, scores of 2 and 9 by 9% and scores of 1 and 10 by approximately 5%.Although scores are described in the text as ‘high’ or ‘low’ there are no right or wrong score directions and these labels are used for purely descriptive purposes. The brief summary below gives the factors, your scores and some indication of what your scores mean.

Agreeableness
Conscientiousness
Conformity
Extroversion
Emotional Stability

Agreeableness:
Your score of 9 on the Agreeableness scale means that you are actually a very sensitive person. You are probably quite an emotional individual in the sense that you are aware of your own and other people’s feelings. You would almost certainly place the needs and feelings of your colleagues at the top of your priorities. Indeed, you would generally be seen as a caring and compassionate person who wanted to put people and their needs first. Clearly, this suggests that you would be at your best where relationships and empathy were important, but it could also mean that you sometimes find it quite difficult to deal with colleagues or customers who might be less sensitive in their manner.
Conscientiousness:
Your score of 10 on the scale of Conscientious is very high and indicates that you are likely to be a very structured and tidy person who values order and neatness. You would probably have very high personal standards and would be very good at following procedures. You would be likely to appreciate the opportunity to be methodical and detail-minded, so would probably be well suited to most jobs requiring close attention and the ability to work to a consistently high standard.Conformity:You have scored 4 on the Conformity scale. This suggests that you are, in all likelihood, a fairly unorthodox person who occasionally likes to be something of a non-conformist. You probably don’t place the same high value on social convention as many of the people who work within B&Q, and some of your colleagues might see you as too informal in your dealings with customers. You’re likely to be a fairly flexible and original thinker who would sometimes produce new and different ideas. You may well have an enquiring streak that means you are interested in many topics. When possible you probably try to introduce some form of innovation into the working environment and this could mean that you find the emphasis placed by your B&Q colleagues on following procedures was a little restrictive.
Extroversion:
Your Extroversion scale score of 7 is above average and indicates that you are likely to be a friendly and gregarious person who would settle into any new social environment quite quickly. You probably enjoy having a wide range of social relationships and would probably want a job that offered you the chance for plenty of interpersonal contact with colleagues and customers. You’re probably quite open, with a fairly persuasive way of expressing yourself. Because you’re likely to be quite convincing in your manner and well suited to roles requiring good social skills you would be likely to enjoy most jobs which required you to deal with other people. You’re probably quite a competitive person who would respond positively to most challenges. Because public recognition would matter a great deal to you, you would probably want regular acknowledgements of your achievements. Emotional Stability:
You scored 9 on the Emotional Stability scale. It suggests that you are probably quite an assured individual who is fairly optimistic and positive in your outlook. When dealing with customers or work colleagues you are probably able to express your views with a confident authority. What’s more, you are probably able to readily assert yourself when you think it’s necessary to do so. You’re probably quite ambitious and would approach your job with enthusiasm, enjoying any role that placed you in a position of responsibility. You would probably be very decisive when faced with difficulties and generally would find it easy to make your own decisions quite quickly. In all likelihood you can cope fairly well with job associated stress. Indeed, you would probably work at your best if you were slightly pressurised.

Ulp! I ferkin passed…………. :oops:
