Google always well known as it's best company to work for, according to The Guardian, the personal chief Laszlo Bock has listed five weird interview questions......
Do you have an IQ higher than 130?
The worst possible answer here is "Yes." Bock specifically wants "intellectual humility", without which he claims people can't learn. Those who have been clever all their lives often commit, Bock says, "the fundamental attribution error, which is: if something good happens, it's because I'm a genius. If something bad happens, it's because someone's an idiot." Taking IQ tests and remembering the score suggests exactly the wrong combination of self-aggrandisement and insecurity.
As I recalled, my IQ is not that much, my answer should be very honest and say "no" lo!!!
What shall we have for dinner this evening?
Don't say "I don't mind" or "I'm easy, really" or "What would you like?" or any of that rubbish. If we're going to solve the dinner problem your opinion is required, so stand up and give it. This is the kind of "emergent leadership" that Google want: the willingness to take charge when required, and not take charge when not.
Ever since that's one time my friend told me is kind of impolite for not giving an exact answer once people asked you what to eat, so by now I'll try my best to give an exact answer!!!
Why did you choose the last five articles you read?
What do you mean you don't know? Bock's first criterion was a type of intelligence that he calls "learning ability", which is defined as being able "to process on the fly … to pull together disparate bits of information." It doesn't bode well for Google's "structured behavioural interviews" if you go to pieces when a simple question like this is fired at your face.
How about articles from bloggers??? Does it count??? If do so, I think it should be more than five duh!!!
Are you incompetent and lazy?
You are? Excellent. Bock wants to hire people who feel "ownership" of the company's projects but also enough "humility" to do only what they usefully can. If you're incompetent, therefore, you're only going to ruin anything you get involved with, so never volunteering is the right call. Clever and active is another successful combination.
I'm very lazy, lazy to do a lot of things......lazy to go out, lazy to eat, lazy to peel shrimp......
Do you have a track record of doing something really well?
If so, that's a disaster. When faced with a problem, Bock explains that: "The expert will go: 'I've seen this 100 times before; here's what you do.'" A clever novice will usually also solve the problem, and while sometimes they fail this is more than compensated for by the valuable occasions when they solve it in new ways. People are better at things, in short, if they don't know what they're doing. If you do get in, you might find that a useful line on Friday nights.
So far as I know I've troubles more than well done works...hahaha!!! Never have a record on anything......

在Google里面工作是出名了好待遇，但要进入这家世界闻名的公司还不简单啊，根据英国《卫报》研究人事部高级副总裁博克报道里头有五道奇怪的问题。。。

在Google里面工作是出名了好待遇，但要进入这家世界闻名的公司还不简单啊，根据英国《卫报》研究人事部高级副总裁博克报道里头有五道奇怪的问题。。。
1. 你IQ超过130吗？
“直接答「是」──就弊了！Google欣賞在學識方面謙遜的人，因他們才有學習新知識的空間。自認聰明的人總把過失歸咎於「笨蛋」。”我的IQ印象中是没有那么高，哈哈哈！！！ 所以我一定会答没有咯！！！
2. 我们晚餐吃什么？
“千萬別說「我沒所謂」、「我很隨便」、「你想呢？」──既然問你，就是想你「貢獻」想法，以上答案反映你無膊頭無承擔。”
自从以前被我被我朋友说过假如回答“我不知道！”这样是很没有礼貌的，因为问你就是要听你的意见，结果你的答案是零，所以过后每当有人问我吃什么，我都会给一个明确的答案！！！

3. 最近看过那五篇文章？ 为什么看？
“甚麼？你不知道？博克最重視「學習能力」，亦即「匆忙中能夠綜合眾多瑣碎資訊」。 ”
不知道博客里面的文章算不算，那我岂不是看过不止五篇，哈哈哈！！！
4. 你无能又懒惰吗？
“你答「是」嗎？太好了！懶惰意味你對你參與的計劃，只會貢獻你懂得的部份，就算出錯，破壞也有限。「聰明兼主動」也是好的答案。”不知道博客里面的文章算不算，那我岂不是看过不止五篇，哈哈哈！！！
4. 你无能又懒惰吗？
懒惰就是我的特征，没有人可以跟我比。。。哇哈哈哈哈～～～
5. 你是否经常做事都很有成绩？
“答「是」的話，就糟了。博克指，專家遇上問題總說「這種事我見過上百次，如此如此即可解決」，但聰明的新手未必解決不了，更可能想到新法子。”
我每次做事都状况多多，很难会有好成绩，即使有应该都是中等上好而已，不会很有成绩！！！
以上紫色的是官方报道连着出来的答案取自于苹果日报！！！
最近好无聊，从星期一开始就蓝色到今天，所以要找一些事来自娱娱乐一下，不要见怪，呵呵！！！

Interesting, not weird.
ReplyDeleteYup, it suits more!!! =]
Deletethere are 1001 different kind of questions asked in interviews, but worse is that, there are 1001 different expected answers for each of the questions!! haha, so it's really depending on luck and the click you have with the interviewer lah.. the same set of answers that would please Bock may not please another interviewer in another company, or even within Google itself.. well, it's good to read this five questions and expectations as a reference though..
ReplyDeleteYup, but for me I think the best is 临场反应, that's best way to show how you can overcome the sudden incident!!!
DeleteVery deep wor. There are so many employers and sometimes duno how to answer but a positive answer is always view as good la. For example employer ask whn can u start work. Better not sayI cant start now coz hv to gv to months notice. Rather reply it with a smile an say I will be ddelighted to start work in two months time.
ReplyDeleteNice, you've gave a very good lessen to me!!! Thanks ya!!! =]
DeleteFirst question,
ReplyDeleteI have to say I believe my IQ is high. I took an IQ test when I was 12 and based on the results, I was accepted to a good boarding school. And continued to be funded all the way till I graduate and decided not to continue my studies. Muahaha #bragging
WOW, very impressive experience, glad you share it!!! =]
Delete1。我不知道（我没测量过）
ReplyDelete2。我不知道（因为你想吃的未必会有，到时才能确定）
3。我不知道（就让你笑我不看书吧）
4。我不知道（因为我可以整天玩游戏，算懒惰还是不懒惰）
5。我不知道（因为有人赞有人弹）
我的答案又如何？哈哈哈~~
很有趣，感觉深藏不露!!!
DeleteNext times people ask me what to have for dinner, i will try to give an exact answer also, haha!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, good one!!! =]
Delete明天周末了,去轻松一下吧^^
ReplyDelete哈哈哈。。。说的也是，但这个星期还没有找到什么节目呢!!! =]
DeleteSo you would like to work for Google?
ReplyDeleteIs a dream job what...but is hard to get it lo!!!
Delete第二题我就中枪了...T.T
ReplyDelete呵呵，那么下次要给个明确的答案咯!!! =]
Delete第二题我很赞同，我每次问老公晚餐想吃什么的时候，就是拿不定主意，想听他的意见
ReplyDelete如果他给我的答案是“你想吃什么就什么”就会被我骂了~~
所以他现在学乖了，随便都会说一个答案，哈哈！！
哈哈哈，我以前也是这样的。。。嘻嘻!!! =]
