“Everyone should take it, it’s better than Ecstasy”

"Yes, there are downsides.   In no way can it be considered pure, in fact it's contents are highly dodgy and it's use is probably illegal.  But it leaves you feeling just great, about yourself and about everything.  Well it certainly left us in the BIT squad feeling like that, especially after the DWP crew had gone away after that meeting where we persuaded them it was just the thing to persuade unemployed job seekers to take.  We all just sat around the meeting room, giggling like schoolgirls, grinning inanely and giving each other hugs.  Now the word about us and our product is out there, everyone will be queuing up at the door for a sample of what we can provide.  Which is fine, but bring cash, ok"

With Cameron's background as a PR spiv (Carlton Commmunications, PM etc) perhaps he wants a post-2015 fatcat's job selling fantasies for the privatised Nudge Unit.

You don't read The Mash then?

VFTS - the Mash is slightly confused and has displayed the wrong test, as the one they feature is quite clearly for people who want to know whether or not they'd make a good Secretary of State for Work and Pensions or Minister for the Disabled.

Psychometric tests are childishly simple to fool. Think about the questions someone is asking, formulate a character in your mind, and answer as that character.

They have a use - you can give one to someone and it can help them to find their own strengths and weaknesses (so can help with careers advice)
