There are much worse ones. I seriously hope that the key is fake. You are supposed to Strongly Disagree with:

  "When you are annoyed with something, you say so"
  "When people make mistakes, you correct them"
  "You are not afraid to tell someone off"

... and Strongly Agree with:

  "Any trouble you have is your own fault"
  "You avoid arguments as much as possible"
  "You finish your work no matter what"

This is what the wicked stepmother would ask the candidate for a Cinderella, with the added benefit of being too insecure to leave her for Prince Charming.

The key is correct. Remember you are a mindless drone, as such you are not expected to take charge. Them above, they know best.

Anyone remember that case when a prank caller called a McDonalds, telling them that they were management and that they should strip-search a female employee? McDonalds has an employee handbook with all the procedures for the robot, and if you can make it appear that what you ask is in the handbook you have hacked the robot. This is the background to that story. Excellent robots they have at McDonalds.

The reason for this procedure is that they want to pick up people from the streets and train them in a week. This is how you do it.

I think the caller pretended to be a cop. Pretty sure they made a movie about it recently...

One would think they changed the line in the manual about cooperating with law enforcement to something more detailed.

Note: I'm saying "something more detailed", not "something more appropiate to situation". The robot must not be required to think ever.

Not sure about a movie, but it was the lede case in a Law & Order SVU episode: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1015439/
