The website address and the phone number appear on a business card given to Mohinder by Mr. Bennet.
Heroes 360
Despite Mr. Bennet's claim to Mohinder that he has an access code, these seem at first glance to be a facility to sign up for a mailing list. To use the system:
- Call 1-800-PRIMA-16
- At the main menu, select option 3 (personnel) and listen to the message
- Visit the web site
- Click "Job opportunities"
- Enter the code from the phone number: MT36
- Fill out the form
- NOTE: An analysis of the page reveals that your answers to the 7 questions are evaluated to give you a code between 1 and 3. The algorithm used ranks every answer as either 1, 2, or 3, and then works out which one you answered most often. Thus it is a very basic form of personality test. The answers are typed as follows:
| Question | Type 1 | Type 2 | Type 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| If you work at a store and see a woman steal a can of soup to feed her family, would you: | Inform the store manager | Pay for it yourself | Ignore it |
| If you see a turtle lying upside-down on its shell in the middle of the road, you: | Run over it | Take it to safety | Avoid it |
| How do you reach conclusions? | Research | Logic | Emotion |
| How often do you put yourself above others? | Only if it benefits me | Always | Never |
| Are you fueled by: | Money | Passion | Routine |
| At a party, you are: | An eavesdropper | A gracious host | The center of attention |
| In stressful situations, you react by: | Emulating proven leaders | Taking charge | Avoiding it |
Any type value can be obtained by simply selecting 4 or more answers in that type's column. It seems that "Type 1" would be most like Mr. Bennet.
You should get an email from PrimatechPaper (no-reply@primatechpaper.com) with the Subject: "Important Message from Primatech Paper", Message: "Thank you for your interest in Primatech Paper. We will be in contact once we evaluate your application."
At this time, the meaning of these results is unknown.
