"Help wanted. Barking dogs encouraged to apply."

When I was in college, someone on my dorm floor applied for a job at a power plant.  In addition to the application, he had to complete a psychological assessment.  He told a group of us that the questions weren't surprising until he was asked, "Have you ever barked like a dog?"  He told us he answered, "Yes," figuring, "Who didn't imitate the sound a dog makes when they were a kid?" 

I still wonder about the power plant's underlying motive for asking that.
