It's massive points for knocking out 4 rows at a time - it's totally boss.
It also makes an incredible sound on the Game Boy version.

I think this would be a good question for a job interview.
If you're not a job creator, you better step the fuck away from that hot dog machine.

Tetris is all about getting a group to work together to accomplish a goal.  I think it shows what sort of personality a person has, especially if we assume that people prefer the shape that they most identify with.  So really, it might be useful for any type of job.

People who like Ss and Zs see themselves as quirky outsiders, happy to keep things interesting without being as helpful in accomplishing tasks.

People who like Ts, Js and Ls are hard working specialists who only rarely let their individualism get in the way of getting their job done.

People who like Os are less concerned with individualism than others, they know that if everyone else was more like them, there would be no conflict. 

People who like Is see themselves as more deserving than everyone else, as for them to reach maximum effectiveness, other pieces must sacrifice their own opportunity to be the one to score the points.

OH YEAH? WELL MAYBE PEOPLE WHO LIKE THE Is AREN'T AFRAID TO STICK THEIR DICKS OUT AND GO FOR MAXIMUM POINTS. OR, YOU KNOW, MAXIMUM WORK-RELATED GOALS.

I'm an "I" lover and not ashamed of it.  Worthless Ns and Zs.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

The I is great but that L just gets you out of so many jams.

The block is best. The other shapes are just trying too hard. Except maybe for the J. I find it interesting that it's mirror image- the L gets overwhelming,slavish, sycophantamogoric (?!) support. Poor J. That's it. I'm changing my vote to J! To hell with all the L lovers. We're tired of being ignored.
