My medical test for CSS was this Saturday. The very day after I returned from Karachi. I was tired, I wanted to sleep late and I wanted to not get my self medically examined. But I was required to undergo one despite my protests to exactly at eight o’ clock, I was in NIH.

I was one of the first to arrive and even the medical board hadn’t arrived yet. I called up Amna and asked her to come early as I could really use some company. The nice girl came promptly to my rescue. Other candidates started arriving and the usual questions started ‘how did your interview go’? ‘What is your preference? etc. I really didn’t want to answer because in all honesty, I didn’t have an optimistic answer.

The medical test started with measuring my height. Yes I am short and I won’t tell exactly how short I am. Next they asked me to stand on the weighing scale. They took the reading, then they asked me to do it again for a second reading and then they opened the rules book and promptly declared me underweight.

Me? Underweight? Me? What is this world coming to?

And then checked my eyesight and tested me for color blindness.

Well folks, if I am ever seen wearing a hideous color, please excuse me because I am partially color blind.

Yup! That’s me. I am short, underweight and partially colorblind!

Some medical test really!

I actually failed a personality test once. How sad is that...

And I imagine, like the exam you just had, they didn't give you much help to "correct" the "problem.."

That stupid personality test sure didn't give me any pointers. For crying out loud.

failed a personality test? AUGH! i gave a psychological test for this job as well, and it was two day long exercise. i dont have the results to that either but lets just say, i am not very hopeful since the psychologists found it relevant to talk about the Iran's nuclear issue rather talking about my life. that can't be good, right?
