Another interesting question is, "Who gets the results?" Do they go to
the company or to only the patient? For a while I was working at a
large company that tried to push everyone to take exams, but
apparently all of the results went to the company, which then
distributed them to us. This struck me as a bad idea, so I just
ignored the whole thing. No problem.
