They wanted to know my high school grades and ACT, and they also made me write a nine page essay about skills that have been impactful to me.

Then they made me take some weird IQ test thing, and then they wanted me to take another one. I was genuinely starting to get kind of worried that they were going to make me talk about my astrology sign, so I eventually just emailed them saying that this is all stupid and I don't want to continue.

I've heard enough about Canonical's absurd requirement to write essays that I just ignore their adverts nowadays.

Which is a shame, as a former Debian developer I feel I could work on interesting things with them.
