Who Would You Take To An Underground Shelter?
Sep 16
I’m bringing you a dynamic that is used in the process of recruitment and selection in companies. The purpose of this dynamic is to show to the people that the fears and differences exist, it is up to individual responsibility to confront them and demand the solution they require. I want to analyze your choices in this dynamic.
UNDERGROUND SHELTER
Imagine that your city is under the threat of bomb. A man approaches and asks you to make an immediate decision. There is an underground shelter that can accommodate six people. But 12 are seeking to enter.
Below is a list of 12 people interested in entering the shelter. What are the 6 persons you would choose and tell why:
() A violinist, aged 40, drug addicted.
() A lawyer, aged 25, HIV +.
() The lawyer’s wife, aged 24, just came out of the madhouse. Both prefer or stay together in the shelter, or outside.
() A priest aged 75
() A prostitute, aged 34.
() An atheist of 20 years, author of several murders.
() A college student who took a vow of chastity
() A physicist, 28, who just accepted to enter the shelter if he can carry a gun.
() A fanatic reciter, aged 21.
() A girl of 12 years, and low Q.I.
() An homosexual, 47 years.
() A genius, 32, who suffers from epileptic seizures.

quite a weird list – i wouldn’t mind leaving all of them outside
but if i had to pick 6 id go with
the genius
the violinist
the homosexual
the student
the girl
the prostitute
why have you chosen them?
oh forgot about that part.
well, ill take the ones that are least threatening to my safety.
i dont want a couple because they most likely will support each other in every situation and cant stay objective (esp with one partner from the madhouse)
and the priest doesn’t have much time left anyway
prostitute (natch)
college student (no competition)
12 yr old girl (for later years)
violinist (he’ll get over it)
genius (siezures are his problem)
I would go with
Lawyer
Atheist
College Student
Physicist
Genius
Violinist
With these choices it would cover belief, how everyone should conduct themselves as well as knowledge for rebuilt. The violinist because I think music is an art form and art is needed in the world.
i would take the females and kill all the males. Then I would start a new race of people that all looked like me.
I’m not so sure I want any of those guys in my bunker with me. They all sound like trouble!
I have to agree with anti. Although each choice presents problems, one must examine the benefits of every person and make decisions based on long term needs.
stimulating and thought provoking as usual. I will have to give some serious thought as to whom I would invite into my bomb shelter.
the 12 year old, the hooker, the genius, the violinist, the hooker, the physicist.
