Many years ago, a major US airline had psychological evals as part of their interview process. "Did you rock in the rocking chair?"
Anyway, after many years of this one man conducting such evaluations, he killed himself.
Kind of makes you wonder if the evals were conducted by someone with a level head in the first place????
And, remember the last name of the shrink was the name of a Roman god with two faces? Actually there was a father and a son. It was the father that met his untimely demise years ago.
The rocking chair is now in the Delta Flight Museum according to this listing for the son:
Micah Janus, Ph.D. – Employee Screening Specialist
Micah is best known for his significant contributions of psychological assessments of pre-employment candidates and executive promotions for Delta Airlines. Virtually every pilot and senior manager at Delta went through the famous “Janus Rocking Chair” screening during the past fifty years. The chair now sits in Delta's museum.
Yandle & Associates - Organizational and Management Consulting
Those wacko psych tests 'with no right answers' have been a part of pilot hiring for many decades.
Now, would you rather step on a cat or throw up on a crowded bus?
