Clairvoyance, sexual experiences and bizarre fantasies: Inside the job application to join RFK Jr's team

Inside the job application to join RFK Jr's team - Applicants are asked to complete a series of puzzle and language tests along with a personality survey
The article from MSN discusses the unconventional job application process for joining Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s campaign team. Candidates are required to answer a series of highly personal and unusual questions, including their experiences with clairvoyance, sexual fantasies, and whether they have ever been in a situation where they felt they were in the presence of a "unique or extraordinary energy." The application also delves into their views on conspiracy theories, such as the involvement of the CIA in the assassinations of JFK and RFK, and their thoughts on the 9/11 attacks. This approach reflects Kennedy's own controversial stances and his interest in exploring beyond conventional political narratives, aiming to attract individuals who share his unique perspectives and are willing to engage with topics often considered fringe or taboo in mainstream politics.
