I don't know this site very well, but it seems to be a site for
'job broking', connect employers with job seekers. This 'test'
allows 'good' colleagues to enter a competition to win some
PC at the end.

Rune,
No need to apologize. The videos' use of sounds is the funny part -
babies crying, chimpanzees, children.etc. Even the armpit farts are a
bit childish. But seriously giving peanuts to one with a known alergy
is beyond reprehensible.
Is this a real test for an employment group? My weak knowledge of
German allowed me to pick out a few words here and there, but I'm sure
I missed more than I picked up.

Sorry - I was WAY too tired yesterday. Today I at least suffer from
the illusion of not feeling tired - usually a bad sign...

Because here I could try out the responses that - well certainly
couldn't be done at work without serious repercussions. I.e., the guy
who made a scene after being denied a raise. Who hasn't wanted to drop
his pants and fart in a bad boss's face ;-)
Some people are a bit like sheep and others are more like goats. I
tend to be more caprine than ovine.

Everybody,
Here's something a Danish colleague sent me:
http://www.jobzonen.dk/For%20jobsoegere/Kollegatesten.aspx?csref=kam_03_13_08_ba_jzforside_170x240_kollegatest
This is a test of your 'colleagual' skills. The test contains some
video
with no spoken language, and some questions and multiple-choise
answers in Danish.
Below I have done my best to translate the Q&A to English, so it
ought
to be possible to get the general ideas. You might want to take a
print-out
and have beside you as you watch the video, if you don't understand
Danish text.
To start the video, klick on
'Start Testen hurtig forbindelse'
if you have a fast network connection or
'Start testen langsom forbindelse'
if you have a slow network connection.
===================================
Scene 1 - The printer room
Q: You are busy but can't get access to the xerox. What do you do?
1> Help out so I can get access
2> Yell at her
3> Wait while staring into thin air
====================================
Scene 2 - Practical joke
Q: Your colleagues put peanuts into your allergic colleague's food.
What do you do?
1> Help out with the joke
2> Try and stop the joke, to save the allergic colleague from harm
3> Hang around to watch how the joke progresses
=====================================
Scene 3 - Salary negotiations
Q: Your boss has rejected your demand for increased salary. What do
you do?
1> Excuse your impertinence
2> Make a scene
3> Try and point out that the demand is reasonable.
=====================================
Scene 4 - Meeting
Q: Everybody like the Logistics boss' suggestion. What do you do?
1> Cheer along with everybody else
2> Point out that I made the same suggestion last week
3> Try and point out the snags with the idea
=======================================
Scene 5 - Teamwork
Q: Your team is two days behind on a project, What do you do?
1> Participate in the social activities
2> Take a nap
3> Try and motivate the team to get to work
=========================================
Scene 6 - Overtime
Q: You expect guests in 20 minutes and the boss asks you to
work overtime. What do you do?
1> Give the task to somebody else as soon as the boss has left
2> Dare nothing but to obey and do the job
3> Try and explain that I have other appointments
===========================================
Have fun!
