Bitcoin does not operate like typical currencies: It has no central bank and it solely relies on an internet-based peer-to-peer network. Cyprus needs the money to save itself from excessive government spending.

This is what personality testing is like. You know, except not terrifying. The use of personality assessments in the workplace is as divisive an issue as they come.
