Q: Mother and wife fell into the water, who will you save?

The competition of the recruitment market is increasingly fierce as the percentage of candidates with qualifications increases significantly. To select the best candidates, many companies ask tough questions or trick problems to test the candidate’s skills.

These situational questions often do not have a specific answer because each person will have different ways of thinking and reasoning to defend their point of view. Asking such situational questions is to assess the candidate’s soft skills or EQ, IQ. They require their employees not only to be professional but also to be responsive to all issues.

Thus, thousands of questions with 1-0-2 were born. Many of the questions are funny, difficult, and even quirky, leaving many candidates confused.

Not long ago, Tieu Bin, a student who had just entered the first year of university, was eager to apply for a job, fortunately he entered the question and answer round directly with the employer. Joining the interview with him were 2 other opponents.

After being asked job-related questions, this boss asked a strange question to test the emotional intelligence and adaptability on the spot of the candidates:

– Mother and wife fell into the water together, who will you save first?

When hearing this question, the first candidate couldn’t hide his bewilderment: “Whoever saves first will not be the perfect solution. Any answer will violate human ethics! This question has nothing to say… It is not realistic”. The interviewer sighed after hearing the answer, it was clear that this boss did not like this kind of evasive answer.

The 2nd candidate answered: “I will save my mother first, and filial piety will come first. My wife will live with me for the rest of my life, but if I die, I can get another wife. As for my mother, I will never have a second mother like that.” The interviewer shook his head and said, “Nothing new.”

It’s Xiao Bin’s turn to answer, he said: ”In this case, choosing to stand completely on the wife’s side would be unfilial, but deviating from her mother would be unintentional. Fortunately, however, my mother saved her daughter-in-law before I jumped. Because my mother can swim and my wife and I can’t do this.” Tieu Bin’s smart and humorous answer made the interviewer nod with satisfaction.

In an interview, someone who is more proactive and has the ability to improvise has a higher chance of success. So when faced with these questions, we can only find ways to adapt quickly and intelligently.

So feel free to answer strange questions, open-ended questions. This is a psychological test of the quality of job seekers. Although it may be a ‘silly’ answer, you have a way to argue to defend your point of view sometimes this will be the correct answer.

Besides, you should not leave a stereotyped impression with these questions to the employer. Do not focus on the question itself, but think about it and expand it so that you can reason and explain your answer.

Most open-ended questions do not have a correct answer, only a reasonable answer. Remember that interview questions are designed to determine if you have the skills needed for the job. Think of your answer in a way that demonstrates a skill or strength you already have.
