or to find out "other things" like one’s true sexuality for example.
IE: Not interested in that blonde in the parking lot? Then maybe the man doesn’t women, could be gay and maybe perhaps have HIV and..
You can take one situation and turn it around in so many different ways. Same with personal questions too. Say I would ask "what kind of TV shows do you like to watch?’ And you say "Leave It To Beaver" then I could think "..this person has strong family values" or I could very well think "..OMG…f"cking Leave it to Beaver….this joker is living in the past and needs to grow the hell up…Next please !!!!"

One of my good friends works in Human Resources and part of her job of course is hiring/firing employees and doing background checks. Last night she and her husband were at my house visiting. I showed her this thread and she was quite shocked. Questions about "sexual positions" ? She was shocked that ANY COMPANY would ask such a thing like that in this day and age of lawsuits. Character issues? Well there are other ways to find out such information. She was telling me that there are tests out there to find out. She pointed out she knows of at least one supermarket chain that does what they call an ethics test done in a Q&A format. But to have someone ask directly a question like "are you a virgin?" or "should drugs be legal?", she was saying that could very well raise red flags as far as the business itself goes.
