I am still sold on the idea that the object of the question is personality assessment. I have put a lot of thought into this. Most young college applicants first response would probably be stress and fear. Faculties that have coped with suicide and emotional collapse may want to know how effectively applicants can deal with threatening ideas and situations.
Faculties that wish to graduate moronic echoes and convincing liars would want calm answers from within the available choices. Faculties that want to graduate people that develop new technologies would demand well thought answers outside the box.
Within the given context my first response would have been feelings of anger. I would not have been able to conceal the contempt I felt as I gave my out of the box answer. Both my verbal and emotional responses would reveal that I would be a disruptive classroom influence.I
Both my wife and her friend responded joyfully within the self expression box . Their responses indicate that they are comfortable with who they are and what they project. One very inteligent man turned red and with bulging eyes screamed " That is the most ridiculous question I have ever heard". His responses indicate that he is fragile , easily threatened and he saw the intended trap.
In the coming weeks I hope to use this question frequently.It could be very useful in better understanding the people I know and meet. It may also be a useful defensive weapon against confrontational academics. Refusal to answer is an admission of cowardice while every conceivable answer could be a potential pitfall.
As I write this I pleasantly reminisce upon the memories of laughter and rage provoked from professors as I proved that in some contexts 1 plus 1 does equal 3.
