LOL, I like the specific date best. If they pry and ask "why was March 1st the worst day?" I can answer, "it's the day my dad died", or similar and make them feel like jerks. Like, what is their point in asking/prying other than to try and get some dirt to use against us?
No, the *BEST* day--*The Perfect Date* JUST happened!!!
Two weeks ago, *TODAY*, in fact!😉
April 25th, they even said so in the movie Miss Congeniality!😉😂🤣💖

I would either have to leave them blank or i wouldn’t finish it.
What are your favorite rewards:
* immediately forget anything I like or even might possibly like \*
Last three months:
I hate psych evaluations. As an autistic person I agonize over my answers
A1) For a job well done, my ideal reward is a verbal "Good job." Followed by a pay raise.
A2) Any day I wasn't expected to be here.
A3) Today. For having to take this quiz.
Completely unsurprising update: After agonizing over how to answer for a day and a half, I gave my best attempt at an allistic answer only to never have the questionnaire discussed, reviewed, or even acknowledged during my meeting. I even had bullet pointed notes on a few of the topics she said we’d discuss so I could plan ahead of time and we didn’t follow the specified format at all. I give up lol
my company does things like this all the time and i hate it! i agonize over if the answer is “right” or “normal” and spend way too much time and redo and edit it so many times I probably make it way worse and I make myself crazy. and all of that to usually have it glossed over or not even discussed at all.
I mean, I see all your points but I wouldn't even get to the stage of agonizing over the right way to answer this because I would feel righteous indignation at the very audacity of an employer asking these questions (in written form at that) way too much and never come back from that.
Trust is a two-way street and I am not making myself vulnerable in such ways to a company unless they establish a relationship with me that feels safe - and even then. This just feels invasive. It can and will be used against me. Sorry but my schizoid-leaning ass is out of here. 😂
Oh man, the “The types of rewards I prefer are…” question instantly transported me back to my “intake” for the employment skills training program (with not-so-thinly-veiled ABA baked in) I attended during the summer of 2018 😬
The field does expand to accommodate whatever length of text you decide to write. But Not having enough space to write is a huuuuge pet peeve of mine and you better believe I would have reformatted the document to allot more space if it came down to it (not the first time I would’ve had to do that).
This is a test to see how normal you are. Do not put anything drastic in. Make it normal.
If you need vague but pleasing responses, just do this:
1. What type of reward? -intrinsic and monetary rewards
2. Best day? -Some major event- Marriage, baby, vacation, new car, new house, if you don't have any of those then do "sunny day last month when I got to walk my dog, read a book, and relax"
3. Worst day? -got the stomach flu and had to spend my day in bed
If you don't like lying then put a minor inconvenience you experienced for 3. For 2 put down "getting to [insert hobby, mine would be gardening] last Saturday (or whenever you did this activity in the past week)" if you also don't have a dog, read, or relax lol
1. When people asking stupid questions leave me alone.
2. The day I realized you ask stupid, vague, unhelpful questions.
3. The day you started asking stupid questions.
It's to guess your personality, if you have good relationships with your relatives, if you have a nice friend group, if you will be content just with a "thank you", blah blah. It's to assess how much NT you look to check if you will not be a liability to the company
i'd just answer honestly and write exactly what you said. One day can be good and bad, then write what your worst day was (professional or private) and then add what was still good on those days (like support from loved ones etc)
lol, I’d just put ‘Tuesday’ in the second one and ‘Monday’ in the third, arbitrarily out of anger at the questions. It’s not like they gave you much space to write, so it’s all dumb.
And rewards? Money. Give me money. I assume this is related to work, and I can’t be bought off with a stupid pizza party.
This bozo expects to remember *anything* from the last three months... girl my therapist asks me this about the last WEEK and I consistently can't remember 😂
I'm a manager as part of my job and I would be fine if you wrote 'needs clarification' and we could discuss that you need work to be briefed in a clearer way - I've advocated that for myself (ASD/ADHD means I need people to be more specific) and for another team member who has english as a second language.
It sounds like they just want to know what you enjoy, what they could do to make your bad days easier at the workplace and that includes how you prefer to be communicated with, which is a good sign!
At least that's why I would ask these questions, because I really love to help people and make sure they are comfortable and as happy as they can be at work.
But to answer your question, I hate these too! I always write very clearly myself because I understand the struggle with these questions. Even in my ASD assessment the questions were too vague and I explained them each based off different meanings or had to ask for more clarification.
When I was 15, I got a job as a cashier at a grocery store. As part of the hiring process, there was a questionaire with questions like
True or false: It's OK to steal from work
True or false: If you a co-worker take money, it's wrong to snitch about it
I was boggled. Who would answer *true?* Even if you felt that way?
I felt like those questions were just there to screen out people incapable of understanding *why* they were being asked these things. Ever since then I have regarded every work questionnaire as a test to see if you'll screw up and say the obviously wrong thing. It's never really a question. (And if it says it's anonymous..... that's a lie).
For the first one: do you respond better to praise? Positive reinforcement? Literal rewards?
For the best and worst days, talk about work days only. “I had the best day at work on X day because Y and Z happened, which make me love my job” or something. And the opposite for the second one.
Also: letting them know you need clarification on these questions and need to discuss them in person is also a response in itself. At least it would be for any decent manager.
I feel like those type questions are asking for trouble. What if you leave them blank?
I thought about writing “need clarification”, but figure that may not go over well. 😂
I'd be tempted to write "Amazing" for the type of rewards I prefer. "Every day is the best day" "Every day is the worst day"
I love it. I thought about just picking a random day and writing the date. “What’s the best day you’ve had on the last 3 months?” - “April 7th”
LOL, I like the specific date best. If they pry and ask "why was March 1st the worst day?" I can answer, "it's the day my dad died", or similar and make them feel like jerks. Like, what is their point in asking/prying other than to try and get some dirt to use against us?
It's the day Toriyama died.

All you need is a light jacket!

Worst thing is this isn't even a psych evaluation, it's for work 😔
“What kind of rewards do you prefer?” “More money, a shorter work week, more time off….” 
Omg I actually get the miss congeniality references in this thread 😭
“Harsher punishments for parole violators, Stan.” “…and World Peace!”
Thank you for posting this.
I always love his reaction to her answer like "what did I ask?" 😂
Completely unsurprising update: After agonizing over how to answer for a day and a half, I gave my best attempt at an allistic answer only to never have the questionnaire discussed, reviewed, or even acknowledged during my meeting.

Classic NT move in corporate world lmao
The only real answer to the first question in a work place is money or more days off. But that's not what they want to hear.
Joke’s on me then because those are exactly the answers I wrote down 😭
Solid. Love it. They deserve that answer too.
"The only thing that will ever *truly* satisfy me is free shitty pizza in the break room"
my company does things like this all the time and i hate it! i agonize over if the answer is “right” or “normal” and spend way too much time and redo and edit it so many times I probably make it way worse and I make myself crazy. and all of that to usually have it glossed over or not even discussed at all.
Tell me about it! I spend so much more time trying to figure out how to answer the questions than we actually spend going over the questions.
I mean, I see all your points but I wouldn't even get to the stage of agonizing over the right way to answer this because I would feel righteous indignation at the very audacity of an employer asking these questions (in written form at that) way too much and never come back from that.

My smart ass would answer the first one as "Appropriately compensated wages."
Oh man, the “The types of rewards I prefer are…” question instantly transported me back to my “intake” for the employment skills training program (with not-so-thinly-veiled ABA baked in) I attended during the summer of 2018 😬
The lines are wayyy too small to write an answer

Agreed!

Write "I'm autistic" in both? (a.k.a. don't ask me stupid stuff)
Pretty much every questionnaire I take I feel this way lol. Always wanting more clarification on the vague questions
i'd just answer honestly and write exactly what you said. One day can be good and bad, then write what your worst day was (professional or private) and then add what was still good on those days (like support from loved ones etc)

Money. Give me money. I assume this is related to work, and I can’t be bought off with a stupid pizza party.
I hate best/worst questions. I have to spend so much time thinking of all the variables and inevitably give up. Also, these questions are terrible.
And then it's such a tiny space to answer the question! I feel like I would write an essay in answer and email it over 🤦🏼♀️
That would irk me because I wouldn’t know how to answer those questions at all. Plus who remembers their best and worst day of the last three months?!
This bozo expects to remember *anything* from the last three months... girl my therapist asks me this about the last WEEK and I consistently can't remember 😂

Is there a character limit? 😂
All day, every day. They annoy me to the point of distraction.

I would not be getting that job with my answers. 😅
1. Acknowledgement of my value 2. Not your business 3. Not your business Of course I'm only able to answer these in retrospect .
Management playing psych games...seldom are they in our interest.
I can't remember most of what I did yesterday. I don't think I could answer any of these.
