It's a text about psychometric tests:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"[/FONT]People actually like doing tests because tests tell them about their favourite subjects; themselves. If handled the right way tests used with existing staff can cause a buzz."

"Cause a buzz" = "cause interest/excitement".
