The questionnaire was not long, and asked him a bunch of questions about his opinions or preferences regarding the army. Nero was careful not to reveal even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction with anything official, and handed in his paper.
It had contained extremely generic questions, such as whether he would prefer staff assignments or field deployments. He was asked what he would choose between a defensive and offensive role. He was asked if he had a preference for intl gathering or objective execution.
Some questions were simple and straightforward, while some left things vague and open to interpretation.
It was only halfway through his test, when he saw that another candidate who turned his questionnaire only to be taken into a separate room for a timed exam that he realised what was actually going on!
