Done but I'm a bit puzzled as to why it thinks wrexham is a city. It isn't!

Done!

BlackMarigold · 06/03/2016 10:41

Weird, didn't see the point so gave up when i got to the colour questions.

YaySirNaySir · 06/03/2016 13:23

Curious quiz. I tried to answer the question on colour without thinking about it too long but that was hard. I know people who wear black and grey who are incredibly vibrant and chatty n personality and someone who loves pink but is actually rather introverted and humble. That made it hard to answer as honestly as possible.

Done but left out the ridiculous colour questions.
The categories were a bit odd too - I suspect a lot of workplaces don't expect 'corporate' but still have a dress code but it seemed to be pushing us into either a suit or jeans extremes.

MrsCurly · 06/03/2016 20:53

I thought this was very flawed. I only filled in about a quarter as I more or less gave up with at the colour questions.

While some workplaces are very corporate, others are more relaxed without being as relaxed as jeans and there wasn't a way to document that.

Also what I wear is dictated quite a bit by the weather and what I'm going to be doing - again not reflected.

I'm not quite sure what the company is after but it doesn't reflect my workplace or working life at all.

Gobletofgin · 06/03/2016 20:54

Done but there wasn't a category between smart suits and jeans Hmm

TheWeeBabySeamus1 · 06/03/2016 21:28

Done.

I thought the same as Gobletofgin, smart/casual has been the standard dress code in all offices I've worked in.

Pipbin · 06/03/2016 21:39

Gave up when I got to the random colours question.

Sadik · 06/03/2016 22:08

Done, (ignored the colour questions). It seemed aimed pretty much at office workers, though.

eurochick · 07/03/2016 00:30

I agree that smart casual is a common office dress code. I've never been in a workplace where suits is the norm, nor jeans!

So, here's another question. Why is 'alternative therapies' an industry but 'pharmaceuticals' isn't? Is it because our lovely lady brains are too concerned about if yellow suggests we are bossy or flirtatious to think about hard and useful science???

FedUpWithBriiiiiick · 07/03/2016 20:13

Done, but I left out the colour questions. They confused me!

LauraChant · 08/03/2016 10:59

Agree with the lack of option between jeans and suits, which could include smart trousers, top, cardigan, or dress, tights, boots - what I think of as teacher-wear.

In the colours question I think "none of these" should be at the top with the colours, ie I associate none of these colours with this adjective, rather than in the list of adjectives where it makes no sense.
