MBD Determination Test 88-9b Greetings, Troubleshooter! The Computer requires you to answer all questions on this test, the Mandatory Bonus Duty Determination Test 88-9b. This fun and interesting test was designed by the loyal citizens of HPD & Mind Control. Based on your answers to this test, The COmputer will assign you the Mandatory Bonus Duty best suited to your particular skills. Rejoice, for The Computer never assigns citizens duties they are not trained for. To assure that you are relaxed during this test, a number of Truth-Bores will be implanted temporarily in your skull. Please ignore these. They are for your convenience only. There are six sections to the 88-9b. Each set of questions relates to one Mandatory Bonus Duty. How you answer these questions determines your suitability for that position. You will get to answer both multiple-choice and short essay questions. Read each multiple choice question carefully and check the ONE box that best describes your feelings. Do no check more than one box per question! Checking more than one box per question is a Bad Thing. There is one short essay question at the end of each section. Read the question, then print your answer clearly in the space provided. Do not write in the boxes labelled Official use only. Writing in these boxes is also a Bad Thing.
