(life) Evaluation System Registration for Foreign experts - a strange request

Hi All,

Has anyone been required by their employer to fill in the following - an online questionnaire inlcuding invasive personal questions, psychological test and other general knowledge tests plus a spontaneous 800 word essay - for the Evaluation System Registration of the China State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs?

This is part of the text of a letter from our university admin. in Jiangsu province:

"Sitting for the evaluation as attached is required by the China State Administration of Foreign Experts AffairsCthe top government agency in charge of international teachers in  China. From this year on, every English-speaking international teacher working in China have to undergo this evaluation process and the evaluation result will be kept on an online file for future reference. That is to say, wherever you go in the future, this online file will be referred to by your future employer and relevant government agencies as long as you work in China. However, nobody except your would-be employer or relevant government agencies can have access to your personal information and evaluation results, so donft worry too much about your privacy. Most important of all, it's a precondition for getting a new foreign expert certificate (i.e. the work permit) for the next year. As you know, the foreign expert certificate (i.e. the work permit)."

At the moment no one here is rushing to comply with the request.
