full disclosure, i assume i am NT but i’ve not been evaluated and sometimes ND people describe their experiences in a way that resonates. and i tend to intuit ND people better than other NTs and i would say i have an awkward dry/deadpan sense of humor. so who the hell knows anymore.

anyway, this checklist is garbage. it’s not even a good checklist for trying to find people who work well in a team doing some rando scut work. i would bomb this crap because at least 11 of these are a hard no, and i somehow always get glowing reviews in my “plays well with others” evaluation remarks everywhere i’ve worked. it’s as though sincerity and decency are maybe what people actually want to work with, and not some mazda salesman who can look you in the eye, shake your hand, and talk you into a 60 month loan with 0% down and 0% financing for 6 months.

honestly, i suspect the people who come up with junk like this are consciously performing all these moves themselves because they legitimately are disagreeable people with underwhelming competency in the sort of basic resourcefulness, initiative, and personal integrity that inspires somebody with too much shit going on to say, “damn, i need some help around here.”

it’s like those people who have accumulated S-tier interviewing skills, but are pretty buttcheeks at whatever the job is and, if they get in the door, they are gonna try to manipulate and shirk their responsibilities onto others and introduce tension with their bullshit as a smokescreen. i’ve been on hiring panels for positions i would be collaborating with, and holy shit that’s legitimately the only thing i’m ever trying to find out because those people make work worse for everybody.
