I went in to get out of the rain once, and did their free 'personality test' which they mark (by running the multiple choice answers through a computer) then show you the graph that has 0-100 where 50 for each trait is 'normal'. The tests are created so nearly everyone comes out at about 45% across the board and they can say 'you're ok, nearly as good as a normal person, but you could be so much better if you bought everything L.R.Hubbard ever fucking wrote'.
I noticed the test had a lot of Social Desirability Factor questions in it. (questions everyone lies on and which are meant to establish how truthful you're being) so I answered all the normal questions with scrupulous accuracy and answered all the SD questions like I was a saint.
their graph came back as a flatline along the bottom with a single peak (because I open doors for people) and the nice young scientologist looked a bit upset, moved her chair away a bit and eventually said
'I don't think there's anything we can do for you. Could you leave?'
