the company? Do they act like the company "is a family" and have weird

statements about past income or addresses, test results for things like IQ or
personality tests. I agree with other comments that even asking for test

prying into your private life like that ("hey I know where you should choose

The simple answer is realize your more nervous than the person or group
interviewing you. You may not be completely yourself as your nervous, but they
are being themselves.

If they act aggitated, aggressive, nervous, rushed, etc... Thats most likely
