Chen Yu and his two companions passed through a narrow passage and soon arrived at a brightly lit room.
The room is furnished with five small cubicles.
Each small cubicle contained two interviewers and a fully armed militiaman.
In addition, a chief interviewer sat in the center of the room, overseeing the entire interview process. He had a serious expression and sharp eyes, as if he could see right through people.
Chen Yu keenly noticed that when the three of them entered, the main interviewer gave Li Jiandong a barely perceptible nod.
Seeing this, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that Li Jiandong's reliance was here.
Although Chen Yu discovered something amiss, he didn't make a fuss. After all, you have to catch a thief red-handed. He wanted to see how this interviewer "cooperated" with Li Jiandong.
"Welcome to the final round of testing. This round is a 'psychological and moral test,' where candidates will undergo an assessment of their psychological qualities and personality traits." The chief interviewer's voice echoed in the room, carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Psychological and moral testing is the most important part of joining my Tianyu base. Each of you will have a one-on-one interview with two professional psychological analysts to assess your psychology and personality." After the main interviewer finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yu and the other two again.
He continued, "This round of testing will delve into your intrinsic motivation, how you cope with stress, and your potential for teamwork. Remember, honesty and self-awareness are key in this phase."
The three were then led to separate cubicles. Chen Yu was taken to a cozy little room, where two psychoanalysts smiled and asked him to sit down.
“Chen Ergou, uh… that’s quite a unique name!” One of the psychoanalysts couldn’t help but chuckle softly after browsing Chen Yu’s file.
Chen Yu smiled slightly and explained, "My grandfather gave me this name. He said that 'Er Gou' means perseverance and tenacity, and he hoped that I could survive like a weed, no matter what environment I am in."
The analyst nodded in understanding, and then the formal testing began.
They started with some basic conversations, and then gradually moved into more personal topics.
“Mr. Chen, how do you usually deal with difficulties and challenges?” an analyst asked.
Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then replied, "I will first analyze the root cause of the problem, and then formulate a detailed solution. I believe that a calm mind and a methodical approach are the keys to solving problems."
The two analysts nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then made a mark on their notebooks.
Then, he continued to ask Chen Yu, "If your girlfriend and your mother both fell into the water at the same time, who would you save first?"
“First of all, I want to point out that this is a very extreme and unrealistic assumption,” Chen Yu said slowly, his voice calm but firm. “But in theory, I would do my best to help them both at the same time, because I believe that under no circumstances should we abandon any of our loved ones. If it is really impossible to do both at the same time, I would make a quick judgment based on the situation on the ground and choose the action plan that is most likely to save lives. At the same time, I would also seek help from those around me, because unity and cooperation often bring better results.”
…………
On the other side, Liu Menghan sat upright, facing an equally professional team of psychological analysts.
“A driverless trolley is traveling out of control along the tracks, with five people strapped to the main track ahead. If the trolley continues forward, these five people will be killed. You are standing next to a lever that you can pull to change the trolley's direction, turning it onto another track. However, one person is strapped to that track. The question is: should you pull the lever and sacrifice one person to save the five?” the analyst asked Liu Menghan.
Liu Menghan frowned slightly. This was a classic ethical thought experiment, designed to explore how to make moral decisions in extreme situations.
She took a deep breath, trying to clear her mind, and then slowly began, “This issue touches on the core of moral philosophy: the conflict between individual and collective interests. From a utilitarian perspective, sacrificing one person to save five seems to align with the principle of maximum happiness, as it maximizes the total number of survivors. But moral decisions are often more than just a numbers game; they concern human dignity, responsibility, and ethical principles. I believe…”
…………
Looking at Li Jiandong, he was answering the questions from the two consultants with great enthusiasm.
"I believe that we should all have a spirit of dedication. In the face of this extreme cold and natural disaster, we should unite as one, help each other, care for the elderly as we would our own, and care for the young as we would our own, to face the difficulties together and walk hand in hand out of the cold winter." Li Jiandong's words were full of passion and inspiration. He skillfully used the virtues of traditional culture to explain his point of view, trying to establish a positive image in front of the interviewer.
…………
Twenty minutes later, after several rounds of in-depth and detailed psychological and moral tests, the three individuals each demonstrated unique psychological qualities and personality traits.
Stepping out of the cubicle, the main interviewer began announcing the scores of the three candidates.
The total score for the psychological and moral test is 300, and the results have been evaluated.
Chen Ergou, Psychological and Moral Test Score: 192; Liu Menghan: 187; Li Jiandong: 295
Upon hearing the score, Chen Yu and Liu Menghan frowned simultaneously. It was one thing for them to score lower, but what kind of person was Li Jiandong? How could he possibly get a high score of 295?
Although they didn't know Li Jiandong's performance in this segment, judging from his behavior when they were queuing outside, he was a selfish and petty person. How could such a person get such a high score in the psychological and moral test?
At the same time, the results of the three rounds of interviews were also displayed on the big screen.
Li Jiandong, Interview score: 79; Practical test score: 78.5; Psychological and moral test score: 295. Total score: 455.
Chen Ergou, Interview score: 81; Practical test score: 76; Psychological and moral test score: 192. Total score: 349.
Liu Menghan: Interview score: 99.5; Practical test score: 95; Psychological and moral test score: 187. Total score: 381.
"The total score for the three rounds of interviews is 500 points, and 420 points is the passing score for recruitment. Li Jiandong, congratulations, you have been officially recruited as a member of our Tianyu Base. Your performance, especially your high score in the psychological and moral tests, demonstrates your excellent psychological qualities and profound moral values, which are very valuable qualities to our base." The chief interviewer announced with a serious expression.
Clearly, neither Chen Yu nor Liu Menghan met the hiring criteria; they were both eliminated.
