A permanent beneficial test
One of tests used by a company to enroll fresh blood helps you know whether you stand the trial from yourself.
In a stormy night, you drive your car through a stop where three people are waiting for a bus: a dying and poor old man, a doctor who is your benefactor because he saved your life so that you are eager to render back, and a woman or a man who is your dreamgirl or your dreamboy and likely dissapears from your life once you miss the chance. Unfortunately, there is just room for one person in your car. Which one would you pick up? Then give your reasons.
Think it over before looking at the following text.
I have no idea whether it is a characteristic test, because every answer has its reason. The dying old man should be first helped,however, his final destination is death. It's reasonable for you to pick up the doctor first--your benefactor and is a good chance to reciprocate what he did for you.
Meanwhile, some people think it available to render the doctor back in someday in future. And if you miss the chance, you will never meet such an attractive person.
Only one of two hundred people was hired. He wrote his answer without providing his reason:"Give the key of my car to the doctor, and let him take the old man to the hospital. But I wait in the stop for the bus with my dreamboat together."
Every acquaintance of mine regarded it as the best answer but nobody (including me) realized it at first.
It is caused by our idea of not giving up the advantage (the car key) we have had? Sometimes, if we abandon some of our parochialism, advantages, and intransigence, we can get more.
Less is More
一道受用终身的测试题
给你做一道题吧,测试一下看看你是不是通得过自己对自己的考验。这是一家公司招收新职员时其中的一道测试问题:
你开着一辆车。在一个暴风雨的晚上。你经过一个车站。有三个人正在等公共汽车。一个是快要死的老人,很可怜的。一个是医生,他曾救过你的命,是大恩人,你做梦都想报答他。还有一个女人(男人),她(他)是那种你做梦都想嫁(娶)的人,也许错过就没有了。但你的车只能坐一个人,你会如何选择?请解释一下你的理由。
在你看下面的话之前仔细考虑一下。
我不知道这是不是一个对你性格的测试,因为每一个回答都有他自己的原因。老人快要死了,你首先应该先救他。然而,每个老人最后都只能把死作为他们的终点站,你完全有理由先让那个医生上车,因为他救过你,你认为这是个报答他的好机会。
同时有些人认为一样可以在将来某个时候去报答医生,但是你一旦错过了这个机会,你可能永远不能遇到一个让你这么心动的人了。
在200个应征者中,只有一个人被雇用了,他并没有解释他的理由,他只是写了以下的话:“给医生车钥匙,让他带着老人去医院,而我则留下来陪我的梦中情人一起等公车!”
每个我认识的人都认为以上的回答是最好的,但没有一个人(包括我在内)一开始就能想到。是否是因为我们从未想过要放弃我们手中已经拥有的优势(车钥匙)?有时,如果我们能放弃一些我们的固执,狭隘和一些优势的话,我们可能会得到更多。
