Bingo! A perfect 50 out of 50.

Ruthless and unethical, as a CEO you'd probably make a fortune in insider trading and stock perks before you're shipped off to the pokey (see President Bush's plan for punishing corporate fraud). Consider a Swiss bank account you can dip into once you've done your time.

I burned the test up with a 9, so am I a good guy or a bad guy?

I scored a 3. I guess I would make an excellent CEO!

That quiz about "corporate ethics" is ridiculous. For example:

"You submit an expense report for $125. Months later, you finally get the check--and it's for $135. Do you mention the error? Y/N" [smiley=duh.gif]

Someone with business sense would realize that it would cost $10 to reprocess the expense report and would simply deduct $10 from their next expense report. More importantly, any CEO would tell the CFO that it's unacceptable to take months to reimburse employees for their expenses.

I would be a poor $$$ CEO based on the score of 9 -- Too honest for my own good ....

You scored 9, on a scale of 0 to 50. Here's how to interpret your score:
0 - 10
If you were running a corporation, you'd never see the inside of a white-collar prison. Here's hoping your brand of honesty will become a corporate trend--though, like this CEO, you may be too idealistic to get ahead.

Yeah, sure he would. [smiley=laugh.gif] A CEO like that wouldn't last a week in big business. He'd fire the CFO for allowing it to happen in the first place. Then the CEO would brag to the Board of Directors what a great job he was doing by dumping the incompetent CFO and get a bigger bonus clause in his contract.

At least I would.

Yep. That sounds like something The Donald would say.

Would you be just a high-powered CEO or an unethical SOB? Based on your results, you could go either way. You might benefit from taking to heart the advice in our Everyday Ethics columns.

Have you seen my stapler?

Ok, no divulging my evaluation but lets say the golden parachute I negotiated (ok, a wide scarf from Walmarts) and was shoved out of the plane with didn't open. The Burger King and Ronald McDonald held a sheet together to break my fall but pulled it away at the last minute. Then the company safe fell on my head; somebody walked by tossing two bits into my company coffee cup they let me keep and a kid came up and kicked me in the shins. I planned ahead and stole some post-it notes for my resume.

Screw it, second again I'm guessing. Who needs'em, I got a lottery ticket.
