Use this:

It has the answers to those stupid personality tests. Basically, you're a doormat who's never late for anything, loves rules, and prefers working to having fun. That's who employers want to hire.

I dunno about interviews though.

With the personality tests, try and think of it as being a steady eddie (unrealistically so).

Or, as a boy scout or girl scout (unrealistically so).

And on the honesty part, if they ask, are most people honest, answer yes, most people are honest.

The honesty questions are based on the following naive psychology:

If you are an honest person, you will view most other people as honest.

There might well be a variety of alternate sophisticated views, but these tests are based very much on the naive assumption.
