My husband bought a Megatouch Vortex recently. A touch-screen game system with 120 games divided into a few categories (like Cards, Puzzle, Action, Strategy, and Quiz), there's something for everyone. We each tend to gravitate toward different particular games, depending on our interests and strengths.

There's nothing like the thrill of being named "NEW CHAMPION!" and seeing your name in that #1 slot on the winner's board. (Oh yeah, just try to beat me at Fortune Taipei!)

I'm best at the puzzle games. And I love puzzles outside of the Megatouch, too. (Well, not necessarily jig-saw puzzles, but math/logic puzzles, puzzles about what educational placement is best for my children, etc.)

My husband is best at games of strategy. Makes sense. As a business owner, he's constantly strategizing about how best to run the company, win and keep clients, manage company funds, and more.

Really, we're all better at some tasks than others. And, ideally our jobs or occupations should fit our strengths (or vice versa).

So I got to thinking: why not make the Megatouch part of the process for vetting job applicants for our business? Sure! After deciding which game category best matches the skill set for a particular job, and then whittling down the applicant pool to the top few resumes we like best, we bring them all in for a half-hour round of Megatouch.

The applicant with the highest score wins the job!
