Some time ago, Kyle S. Reyes, CEO of a company called the Silent Partner Marketing, got sick and tired of dealing with prospective employees who were a poor match with his business philosophy. “We get hundreds and hundreds of people reaching out to work for us,” he said. “I … realized it was a time suck on my staff and me to be weeding through endless piles of paper trying to find the handful of people who actually want to hustle for a living and would be a great fit for our company. So I’ve implemented something that is going to give HR managers and the PC Police night sweats. I lovingly refer to it as the Snowflake Test.”
The Snowflake Test, as it turns out, was a series of 30 questions designed to gauge an applicant’s views on such things as guns, faith, work ethic, morality, patriotism, company benefits, salaries, and similar tangible and intangible subjects.
The test was stunningly effective, even with people who never took it. A blizzard of snowflakes blasted Reyes for his insensitivity and demanded safe spaces from his triggering questions. “I was scolded by a woman on the phone yesterday who told me she wouldn’t take the test and ‘shame’ on me for making people take a test to come work for us,” he recalled. “She ‘demanded’ I remove the test or risk losing out on ‘perfect employees’ like herself.”
Meanwhile, Reyes was besieged by businesses requesting his list of questions so they, too, could implement their own Snowflake Tests.

"Sweet 'n' Skinny"
The brilliant anti-feminist Camille Paglia argues believably that culture and civilization are created by men
and represent an attempt to contain the chaotic forces in human nature, and that both marriage and religion are the
means to contain these chaotic forces.
Stupid comment. My Financial Services Director is a brilliant black woman. Hardworking, dedicated, savvy, and gracious, I can always count on her to get things done. A friend of mine, another black woman, took a broke, dysfunctional not for profit and in a year turned it completely around. Still another black woman I know earned her MD and less than two years later finished her MBA. She is highly respected in the field of medical research. It is not color or gender that indicates success, it is education and work ethic.
Describe the dream maternity leave policy.
Democrats destroy everything they touch.
The Kavanaugh attacks will accelerate the damaging effects of the radical womans movement.
How many normal men will be eager for employment in positions where they are most vulnerable to spurious charges of sexual peccadilloes?
By the time this leftist insanity runs its course there will be almost no male teachers, coaches of girls sports, etc.
That will worsen the situation because young girls will then have almost no positive male influences in their lives outside of family and many don't even have that.
And every workplace where a man might be vulnerable will be on camera 24/7.

“Describe the dream maternity leave policy.”
‘The young mother stays home to raise her children, and then rejoins the workforce if she so choses when her children are grown.’
Well, do not hire a gynocrat woman, or a gynocrat man for that matter, unless you want trouble over sexual issues, like your bathrooms must be LGBT choosable, ( I think I ‘ll use the women’s today and the men’s tomorrow and the transvestite next....what there is no transvestite bathroom ( going postal)....well you get my drift.
Can’t blame for not hiring such people at all.
I use NoScript.
Most of them know nothing about it, really. If I had a test for Expert on Victorian Age, my first question would be, "Have you ever read the book Middlemarch?" And if they said Yes, they'd have to prove it. I'd question them for 5 minutes on it.

This is a good summary based on real world human nature.

I know this from personal experience because I’m neither.
I go to Starbucks. . .but only to use their unisex bathrooms and make sure I pee a little on the toilet seat. . it’s my personal #resistance movement.
THE SNOWFLAKE TEST ANSWER KEY
1. Outside of standard benefits, what benefits should a company offer employees?
Whatever the company finds advantageous to maintain a stable and committed work force.
2. What should the national minimum wage be?
There should not be a minimum wage.
3. How many sick days should be given to employees?
As many as the company finds is necessary to maintain a stable and committed work force, and no more. Two weeks a year, carried over, with a maximum accumulation of six weeks sounds about right.
4. How often should employees get raises?
As often as they earn them.
5. How do you feel about guns?
I’ll take more, please. I’m a big fan of secure storage. YMMV.
6. What are your feelings about employees or clients carrying guns?
Wary, but not opposed.
7. What are your feelings about safe spaces in challenging work environments?
No.
8. In a creative environment like The Silent Partner Marketing, what do you envision work attire looking like?
For men: Black formal shoes, black socks, suit pants, black belt, broadcloath shirt, conservative tie, Mac, and a suit jacket that matches the paints on a hanger for client meetings.
For women: I have no idea. Professional and modest.
9. Should “trigger warnings” be issued before we release content for clients or the company that might be considered “controversial”?
No.
10. How do you feel about police?
I support the police. I treat them with courtesy and respect.
11. If you owned the company and were to find out that a client is operating unethically but was a high paying client…how would you handle it?
I would look at the situation to make sure there was no exposure for the company. Even if I found none, I would be careful, going forward, dealing with that client, because somebody who is unethical in one thing is more likely to be unethical in other things.
12. When was the last time you cried and why?
Last Sunday, in church.
13. You arrive at an event for work and there’s a major celebrity you’ve always wanted to meet. What happens next?

Yuengling Beer.
15. What’s the best way to communicate with clients?
Telephone.
16. What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time?
Farm.
17. What are your thoughts on the current college environment as it pertains to a future workforce?

Eggs and toast with coffee.
19. What’s your favorite drink when you go to a coffeehouse?
Coffee.

I push back until he moves on. After that, I work with him, without rancor. Later, when we are colleagues or I’m his boss, I will discuss how to deal with others in the workplace.
21. How do you handle it when your ideas are shot down?
If you don’t like that one, I have another. If one in ten of your ideas is adopted, you’re very lucky.
22. What do you do if a coworker comes to the table with an idea and it sucks?
I tell him his idea sucks. I tell him why and offer improvements. Many bad ideas can be salvaged, if the person is challenged to improve them.
23. What does the first amendment mean to you?
The government can not restrict free speech or establish a religion. My employer is not the government (unless they are, of course).
24. What does faith mean to you?
Faith gives purpose to Life.
25. Who is your role model and why?
Chuck Yeager, because he has The Right Stuff.
26. “You’re in Starbucks with two friends. Someone runs in and says someone is coming in with a gun in 15 seconds to shoot patrons. They offer you a gun. Do you take it? What do you do next?”
I take the gun, check to see that it is loaded, and take up a concealed position to the right of the door, because I am right-handed.
27. What does America mean to you?
America is the greatest country that ever was, or ever is likely to be. I won the lottery just by being born in America.

It is a good thing, as Martha Stewart used to say.

Book smarts, because I am an engineer. Without book smarts, I would wind up in sales, and who wants that?
Violet?
You do know that Violet tried to cover up the attempted “murder” of her boss, and then kidnapped him holding him for weeks as a prisoner?
I am not sure Violet would be the best example to prove your point.
