Cyrus Just Had a Job Interview

question 75

Essay

Cyrus just had a job interview. His buddy, Andy, asks him if they asked him clear purpose questions or veiled purpose questions. Cyrus says he is not sure, but they asked him things like if he felt it was okay to steal something that would be thrown away, if he had ever lied in a job interview, and if it was okay to secretly leave work early if a friend covered the job. Contrast clear purpose tests with veiled purpose tests, and explain which one Cyrus took and why.
