A retail company that I worked for (I worked in the general office and we got a bit of a chuckle talking about the test) had a test that was very much in the same vein - though it wasn't a "have you ever considered" but rather put on a "agree to disagree" spectrum.

    It is ok to get into fights during your break as long as you aren't at the store
    It is ok to take office supplies home if they aren't valued more than $10
    It is ok to not clock out for a smoke break if it is less than five minutes long
There were other questions that were ones you were supposed to agree with too - just those weren't as memorable.

Apparently, there were people who failed the test.

The other part of the test is that it is on record. So when someone does get into a fight during their break the GM can pull the test out and say "see, you knew this."
