> The other test is to meet their significant other. What qualities did they choose in the person with whom has the most influence over them?

Am I the only one bothered by such a request? I wouldn't want to bring my SO, not only because I wouldn't want to mix my private and professional life, but also because it seems incredibly weird to me to have my private relationships being used to judge me.

Weird and creepy.

I agree, and I find this incredibly invasive. I agree the "how they treat wait staff" test, and sharing a meal with someone to give you some idea of what their personality is like has _some_ merit in my experience, but no, you can't meet my SO or invade my personal life.

The fact this is even considered is appalling, let alone publishing a blog post about it.
