I give potential new hires a question during their interviews. HR gets mad at me, but feh.

You are on a pleasure cruise ship and discover a tidal wave is about to wipe out two islands about a mile away. You are close enough to rescue the people only on one, but not both islands. Island #1 has 100 adults who are vacationing there, and island #2 has only a babysitter who is watching a small child while the parents are scuba diving.

Which island do you choose and why?

The answers are quite telling. Not the choice itself, but the reasoning they offer exposes quite a bit of who they are as a person.

I'm looking forward to this primary. So far Cruze has my vote. The Donald is serving as that question that draws out who they really are.

“So far Cruze has my vote.”

If that's so, they maybe you should know how to spell his name.

“You're Fired”

or at least you should be, smug is not a virtue.

Your “virtual” world question says more about what you are, and your “exposes” your inadequacies

I’m happy the Donald is stirring things up and make no apologies for that.

Cruz is playing it smart so far, which is good.

My guess is, we’re gonna have a financial event of some magnitude before we get there.

Guess we’ll find out.

At the end of job interviews, I always ask a candidate to tell me their favorite show on television. The answers can be very revealing...
