Is this test going to replace IQ tests in South Africa?

Question

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when

you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

2. An old friend who once saved your life.

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could

only be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading.

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a

job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to

die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old

friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect

chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your

perfect mate again.

YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS...................

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble

coming up with his answer. He simply answered: 'I would give the car

keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would

stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.'

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought

limitations.

Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'

HOWEVER...., The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her

out of her misery, shag the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then

drive off with the old friend for a few beers.

Answer 1

The correct answer--hehe, that's the way!!

Answer 2

hahahahah. Sjoe. Lise K where did you get this one? Gave me serious thinking now!

I sure would hope that I get it in a test when i go for a job interview. Now I would know what to say. . .

Answer 3

good one.

Answer 4

Then varklisse, what do you want us to do?

Answer 5

Ja, but if you drive off with your buddy after the shag on the hood  you would have to write off all future shags with your perfect partner, No, I would definitely offer her the lift, it doesn't state anywhere that your friend would suffer or die if he stayed behind a bit longer in the rain waiting for the bus, I'm sure he would understand.

Answer 6

Brilliant Lise....

But a cute baba on radio once said " they say think out of the box, I say toss the box"

Answer 7

That is very good indeed.

But with us living in SA I immediately thought this would be some kind of a "who would steal the car thing if you pick them up.
