A group interview for a government job where icebreaker activity was “what if humanity died out and you had to choose who, from alist of made-up people variously described by their age, race, illnesses, religion, jobs and mental health status, would get to repopulate the Earth.”https://twitter.com/StockMarketHats/status/1326590331975069697 …

Oh god I've had similar as a training exercise and I don't think I quite processed how horrific it was. Much worse in a job interview.

I would choose none, as forcing such a small group of strangers into a breeding program is a recipe for disaster. Instead I'd put a diverse bunch of historians and journalists in the shelter, with acid free paper and archival ink pens, to record the final days of humanity.

In addition to all of the other (myriad) issues... how the hell do they use this to evaluate you as a job candidate?! Do they have a list of "right" answers that they're comparing yours against? Are they just testing to see if you'll complete bullshit assignments you're assigned?

I suspect it’s a bias test, as you will notice each “person” has two strongly and often differential biases (ie Police/Muslim, athlete/disabled). You could build a strong peicture of an application whol left all the disabled people out of the “selection”

We had to do something like this in high school. Everyone chose the minister who couldn’t have children, and his wife. I told them that was stupid. I stand by 15 year old me’s assessment.
