alert_bri Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 In my work I get lots of people calling me to join my team - I need to assess whether a person is suitable (within a 5 minute conversation) to invite to a meeting... Imagine you had a conversation on the phone with a complete stranger... what would you ask if you wanted to gauge if that person is honest? Any ideas???

jackthedog Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 If it's a bloke, ask him how big his todger is. If he says its quite small, you know he's being honest... Also ask them if they've ever worked in sales. If so, they are not honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomme Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Have a look for some 'personality type' questionaires (eg google for 'epq personality questionnaires'). As well as as questions that attempt to assess your introvert/extrovert etc type traits they often also contain a 'lie' scale too. They are usually questions that people will lie on if they are trying to make a good impression. eg 'Do you always wash your hands before meals?' 'Do you ever tell lies?' 'Do you really get lots of people calling you'? That sort of thing. HTH Nomme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alert_bri Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 LOL I'm trying to avoid the personality matrix type stuff - it needs to be more natural than that... and I'd spot a sales type a mile off so that doesn't even need a question :D p.s. I doubt the todger question would work for the ladies - I'm not a P.I.M.P.!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackthedog Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Do you mind me asking what kind of team this is? I've got a job by the way - it's just out of noseyness really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alert_bri Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 It's a home business network - normal people (not pushy salesy types - yuck!) working as health coaches and personal business coaches... typically making about £50 per hour in their spare time once they know what they're doing. Anyhow - I already know it's impossible to tell until you get face to face but was hoping for suggestions on how you might get an idea on the phone?

fnkysknky Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Home business network - why does that fill me with fear? Not saying anything against you alert_bri because obviously I don't know what you do exactly but those three words bring images of pyramid schemes and other various dodgy business practices. Don't mean to cause offence but it's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw those three words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
