Task 2: A Work Qualification Test

Script

Murphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied 1 for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided 2 to give the American the job.”

Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”

The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”

Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”

The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”


 


Keys: FTTTFT




For Reference

1. He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed, rather than on the correct answers.

2. By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer on the test.
