This is funny:
- Is that a real test?

I think the standardized creativity test is a good idea.

That was a good laugh -- I, for a short while, thought it was real. XD

I don't mean to scare you, but they have similar sort of things for some private schools (for instance, at kindergarten level one element of entering a private kindergarten is how well the child is observed to socialize with other children.)

I reckon this is a joke, but today's joke is Japan's tomorrow. (Most Japanese people are actually pretty good at socializing. The language sort of allows for it really.) <-- think back, wouldn't it be convenient if we had Keigo to break the ice, pre-company drink fest.

P.s., Keigo is probably the best defensive BS wall I have ever seen. Imagine, just make your sentences so annoyingly long that the nearest individual will immediately discontinue contact within a 5 minute time bracket (I imagine it's a pain in the arse having to form those forms for long periods. Plus, all those half bows can damage your back, you know.)
