Extracted from another site:
This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought. By giving an honest answer you will discover where you stand morally.
The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, in which you
will have to make a decision.
Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Thoughtfulness is important for this evaluation to be meaningful!
Ready? Begin!
Situation:
You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact... There is chaos around you,
caused by a hurricane and severe floods. This is a flood of
major proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper
caught in the middle of this great disaster. The situation is nearly
hopeless.
You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people
swirling around you, some disappearing under the water.
Nature is showing all its destructive fury. You see a man in the water! He
is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away with the water and
debris.
You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar. Suddenly, you know who it
is... it's George W. Bush!
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him
under, forever.
You have two options. You can save him or you can take the most dramatic
photos of your life.
You can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer
Prize-winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most
powerful men.
...Now, here's the question (please give an honest answer).
Would you select colour film, or rather go with the classic simplicity of
black and white?
