A personalist test


Let's give you a personalist test. It would like to test whether you can pass a test when you are facing to make decision or not.

That is a question asked from a company when they are interviewing the candidates. Maybe you can try this , see whether you can pass the interview or not. ^^

One day, when you're driving and it was raining heavily, you saw three people standing in a bus stop. With condition, you can only fetch one people.

The first person is an old guy and he was ill-ing badly . The second person is a doctor who helped you before and you want to render back him. The third person is he/she whom you want to marry with but if you lose this chance you will never see him/her forever.

Now you can choose whom you would like to fetch. After that, please explain why do you choose the answer.

Different type of people has different answer. Some might think that, the old man was ill and should send him to hospital immediately. Some might think that, death is the last destination of an old man so they should fetch the doctor because he saved your life before.

However, some might think that we can repay an obligation to the doctor next time, we can't lost the chance to get someone whom we love. If we lost the chance, we might not be able to see him/her again.

There was over 200 candidates in the interview session but there was only one people pass the interview and get the job. He didn't explain the reason of the answer he chose , he just said that

"I will give my car key to the doctor and let the doctor sends the old man to hospital. While I will stay at the bus stop with the girl."

When I saw the answer, I understand why the company will hire him. He is brilliant and smart. Almost of the people never think about this answer in the first second included me but he did it.

Is this because we never think to give up our predominance (the car key) when we need to make decision ? Sometimes, we should learn to control our stubbornness and might learn to give up the stubbornness and predominance.

We might be able to gain more at the end......
