Drug Test, or Stupidity Test?
Posted on Thursday, September 24, 2009 by Frank RocheNo drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power. -P.J. O’Rourke
Wouldn’t it be cool if companies stopped doing random drug tests and substituted random tests for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power? I think the workplace would be a lot better off.

I have a friend that has been saying the same thing for years. She works in compliance for a financial institution so I can understand where she’s coming from.

Love the idea now show me the test.
Now throw in common sense, respect for other, self discipline, and agreeing that the same things that are important to me are important to you.
Please define your terms. Validate your test and get the EEOC to say it is non discriminatory.

How about asking to interview a former subordinate for a reference check?
