‘Snowflake Test’ weeds out ‘whiny, needy, entitled little brats’ who apply for jobs

Kyle Reyes, CEO of The Silent Partner Marketing, had a bit of a problem on his hands — the good kind, mind you.
After a video about his Connecticut-based company went viral, Reyes said he was inundated with messages from people looking for jobs at Silent Partner.
Great for business — but how could he sort through all those job applications in a speedier fashion?
Well, Reyes came up with an idea that just might go viral, too: A “Snowflake Test.”
“I don’t want most people to work for my company,” he wrote in conservative outlet NewBostonPost earlier this month about his test. “No, seriously. Most people suck.”
“Not just professionally. Just as people,” he continued. “They are whiny, needy, entitled little brats.”
But now armed with his “Snowflake Test,” Reyes can identify if a job candidate isn’t the right fit for the Silent Partner “culture” as well as the firm’s clients, he told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” last week.
The test is pretty straight-forward — 30 questions applicants answer with short responses as well as essays. For example: “What does America mean to you?” and “How do you feel about guns?”
