Core Values Examination

Introduction

Welcome to the MODIPHY® DESIGN Core Values Examination. You will face seven different tests each related to one of our core values.

First, we would like you to choose three of your favorite websites that you had a part in creating or updating. These websites should all still be accessible online. After selecting your three websites please email them to neil@modiphy.net.

A few things to keep in mind during the test:

  • Some of the tests might be deceptive.
  • You may become frustrated at times during the tests.
  • We are moreso evaluating how you handle certain situations as opposed to your technical skill.
  • You can ask us "Yes" or "No" questions about what is allowed during each test. These answers we give will always be truthful.
  • Before some tests we will provide you with certain rules that pertain to that specific test.

Dependability

Each test will also contain a mini-test. At the end of all the tests, meaning at the end of the examination you will be asked to provide the answers to all of the mini-tests.

Precision is required.
