Professional psychologists assess applicants' stressful reactions and psychological stability through various tests and interviews. The psychologist sits in a clean and quiet consulting room, a stack of carefully prepared testing materials and record sheets before him. When the applicant enters the room, the psychologist greets them with a gentle, friendly smile, attempting to ease their nerves. First, they undergo a standardized psychological test. The applicant takes a questionnaire filled with complex and nuanced questions. Some inquire about their thoughts when facing a major setback, while others explore their anticipated reactions to unknown dangers. The applicants frown in thought as they answer their questions, the scratching of their pens across the paper resonating clearly in the quiet room. During the interview, the psychologist begins with seemingly lighthearted questions, such as inquiries about the applicant's hobbies and interests, or their interactions with family and friends, gradually relaxing the applicant and opening up. The conversation then deepens, moving on to more challenging topics. The psychologist might describe an extremely stressful scenario, such as a base facing a sudden and severe shortage of supplies or facing a fierce attack from a powerful external enemy, and then observe the applicant's facial expressions, eye contact, and body language. The doctor will carefully listen to the applicant's responses, capturing every subtle emotional fluctuation. If the applicant's description indicates excessive anxiety, fear, or avoidance, the doctor will take note. However, those who calmly analyze, proactively seek solutions, and demonstrate strong conviction and optimism will receive greater attention and affirmation. During the interview, the doctor will also intentionally create minor stressful situations, such as suddenly interrupting the applicant or questioning or challenging their answers, to observe the applicant's emotional control and ability to cope with such unexpected interruptions. Sometimes, the doctor will also use role-playing techniques, having the applicant assume key roles within the base and make decisions and take actions in simulated crisis scenarios. This allows for a more intuitive assessment of the applicant's psychological stability and leadership abilities under pressure. Throughout the process, the psychologist acts like a keen detective, meticulously examining any clues that could reveal the applicant's true inner state. They strive to accurately assess their reactions and psychological stability under pressure, thereby selecting the most psychologically competent and adaptable individuals for the base.
These stringent screening measures sparked controversy, with some arguing they were too stringent and could miss out on promising candidates. In various corners of the base, people gathered, heatedly debating the measures. Some, brows furrowed in frustration, felt the standards were like an insurmountable wall. "Isn't this excessive?" a young man asked, waving his arms. "Some people may just be temporarily underperforming in certain areas, but they have enormous potential. Isn't this a blanket approach that deprives them of all opportunities?" His voice echoed through the crowd, drawing many to agree. "Yes, some may have performed poorly during the interview due to nervousness, or perhaps their past circumstances kept them from developing certain skills, but they possess a strong desire and courage," a middle-aged woman said worriedly. "Don't such people deserve a chance?" In another corner, several workers gathered, also engaged in a lively discussion. "I heard there was a young man who was incredibly hardworking and kind, but he failed the knowledge assessment because he had little formal education." One person shook his head, "Isn't that a shame?" Opposition raged, with some even questioning the very purpose of these measures. "Can't our base be more tolerant and trusting? Such a harsh screening process feels cold and inhumane." However, some defended the strict screening measures. "But if we don't screen carefully and let unsuitable people in, who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?" an elderly man said gravely. "This is for the long-term development of the base; we can't just focus on the present." "That's right. We can't let a moment of weakness sow the seeds of danger," another supporter remarked. "While we might miss out on some people, it's better than putting the base in danger." The controversy continued to ferment within the base, with both sides arguing, unable to convince the other. Amidst this controversy, these stringent screening measures faced scrutiny and testing.
But Xiao Yi firmly believed that only this approach could ensure the long-term stability and sustainable development of the base. Standing alone on the base's observation deck, Xiao Yi surveyed the entire scene. His gaze was firm and determined. The wind rustled the hem of his clothes, but it couldn't waver in his inner conviction. He recalled the hardships and dangers of the base's early days, the fierce struggle for survival, the painful lessons learned from a moment of negligence. Every scene flashed through his mind, reinforcing his conviction that his choice was the right one. Xiao Yi knew that the base was not just a temporary refuge, but the hope of everyone's future. To ensure the base's long-term survival and continued development in this world rife with crises and uncertainty, there could be no room for luck or carelessness. "Strict screening may resent some, or even lead to accusations of being too harsh," he muttered to himself, "but this is for everyone's future, for our children and grandchildren to live in a safe and stable environment." He felt a pity for those who had potential but might not yet meet the criteria. But he understood that a moment of softness could lead to irreversible consequences. What the base needs are people who can truly adapt to various challenges and contribute to its development. Xiao Yi clenched his fists, as if declaring his resolve to the world. "Maybe there will be controversy now, but time will prove that this is the only way to ensure the long-term stability and sustainable development of the base." His voice, though soft, was full of power. In his heart, the future of the base is above all else. Even if he bears the infamy, he will continue to move forward unwaveringly. Because he knows that only in this way can the base stand firm in the storm and become a true home for everyone.
