Asshole Test

Assholes can destroy organizations, and attention must be given to creating a culture free of assholes in organizations.
The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn't - has a test on p 24.
The test in the book is an obvious one. To it we should add the degrees of asshole. Specifically - everyone has asshole moments, and this test should clarify how easy it is for someone to start behaving like an asshole when the times get rough - ie, the Threshold-to-Asshile.
Another distinction should be one's point-assholeness: about very specific, replicable conditions under which one succumbs to being one. This is useful because one always has asshole momenta, and this could reduce their frequency further.
