Corruption Test

It says I am not corrupt

the problem with the test is....would I lie to get my way...of course I would, when you deal with filth and corruption you have to get a little dirty to do the best you can

and that's where some get caught...they have no personal line so they have to kid themselves and once one begins to lie to oneself, one is essentially lost
 
It said I am not corrupt but a few question I would answer differently which might make a difference.

The hiring of a family member who was not qualified. I would not put them in a position of authority they were not qualified for but I would pay them more than the position pays. I am not going to do something that would land me in jail or prison. I have turned down government contracts when in business for myself because the only way to get them was to break the law.

I don't think there were enough questions that were specific enough that could make a proper determination.
 
The lure of wealth and power are much for the average man [or woman] to handle.
 
Given the results totals, this appears to be a test just made by the author of the OP.

Apparently I am corrupt when I answer 7 out of 10 with a 'yes,' and not corrupt when I say yes for 5 out of 10.

So remember kids - just say no!
 
I didn't think it was much of a poll. I mean, no, obviously, ever to every question.
 
There are ways around corruption in business. I met a great salesman for a German made shower head that retailed for 100 dollars in 1980. At the time our average customer could afford it but how do yo get them to spend that much. We had 20 plumbers working at this company at the time and none believed we could sell a 100 dollar shower head. The sales man gave each of us a shower head to take home and put in our shower and offered a $5.00 bonus for each one we sold. The sales said anytime a customer ask you about a shower head you tell them the one you have is this German mad one. At 5 cents a day it is a great investment over the inexpensive one that came with the faucet. I enjoy it every day. It is the little things that can get your day off to a good start.

Nothing I said was a lie. It was a great shower head. Positive feed back is one of the best selling features. Also most well off people will spend the money just to have something better than the average person. We sold over 144 in 2 weeks and never looked back. The sales man by giving us each a shower head had set up a great sales pitch for his product. The best bang for the buck advertising he could have done. We all made out great including the customer who did get a great shower head that did make them feel better each day.

There are puppies that need to be kicked.

Some are just jerks.

Was the guy that offered the Ginsu knives corrupt?

He took a regular set of knives and made a great commercial and sold millions of sets.

Nothing he said was a lie, but most knives would do the same.
