Think Outside of the Box - Interview questions and answers

Think Outside of the Box


Question 1: 
You are driving alone with your car on a wild, it's raining heavily, and stormy night, on that time you pass via a bus stop, on that time you see 3 people waiting for bus

a) An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

b) An old friend who once saved your life.

c) The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Who one would you select to suggest a ride to, knowing especially that there could only be one person in your car?

Note:-This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
General Answers:

* You could pick up the old lady, because the old lady is going to die, thus you should save her first.

* Or you could take the old friend because he once upon a time saved your life, and this would be the wonderful chance to, give him back.

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was appointed (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Do you know what was his answer?

Perfect answer:

"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. I would stay with perfect partner and wait for the bus"

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box." 
Question 2:

What will you do when I run away with your sister?

The candidate who was selected answered “I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir" 
Question 3:

Interviewer (to a girl candidate)


What if one morning you woke up and found that you were pregnant?

Girl - I will be very happy and take leave from office, to celebrate with my husband. 
(Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to listen this, but the candidate managed it very well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when Interviewer asked)
Question 4:

Interviewer ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Office boy brings Coffee and kept before the candidate, then Interviewer asked:
What is before you?

Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"

He got selected.

Do you know how and why he said "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before him.

(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet) Reply was "TEA" (T - alphabet) in the alphabet "T" comes before "U".



Question 5:

The interviewer said to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview.
What is the exact centre position of this table?

Candidate confidently put one of his finger at one point on the table and told that this was the central point of the table.

Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then candidate answers:

"sir u r not likely to ask any additional question, as it was the last question that you promised to ask"

And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness.

This is what HR/Interviewer is expecting from the candidate/Interviewee.
