    Interviewer: are you an honest person?
    Candidate: yes, It's my biggest character flaw ....
    Interviewer: I don't think honesty is a flaw...
    Candidate: I don't care what you think.

    But the idea is to not use these words to describe yourself for xyz reason. I agree with some but not all

    In terms of dating sites, and to qualify I dont use these sites, however am told its common for

    men to lie about their income/net worth

    women to lie about their age

    If I did use these sites I would probably use my daughters photo;):p

    I did an aviation medical and was asked a range of psych questions

    Q : Would you describe yourself as clever. More clever than those you work with ?
    Q : Do you think 9/11 was the work of bin laden and crazy extremists
    Q : have you even been so angry you wanted to do something harmful - Like drive on the other side of the road

    I didnt quite know how to react other than no, yes,no. Nothing more to say.
    Apparently nutters will start a rant about such questions and can be hard to stop them. i didnt realise driving on the other side of a freeway is something some people do think about. :eek: Week or two later my dishwasher repair guy gave me a (very) long and complicated story about how the US Airforce flew the disguised airforce planes into the world trade centre and pentagon.

    I think we can add some new modern ones

    Q : What do think of the new 5G mobile network and its relationship to the pandemic
    Q : Do you think people should wear masks to suppress the pandemic
    Q : Describe Peter Evans. Do you think he was unfairly let go by 7 ?
