Corporate enterprise: We have this Psychometric test, we get the candidates to eat very hot beef and potatoes in gravy as fast as they can. The idea is we get the one who is the most hungry. So all the candidates sit around a big table and test starts. There's much slurping and blowing as the food is far too hot to eat. The winner, a mouth covered in gravy and all burnt from the hot food.
