This test only has one question, but it’s a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you’ll 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.

Give due consideration to each section.

THE SITUATION:

You’re in Florida . Miami to be specific. There’s chaos all around caused by a category 5 hurricane with severe flooding. A catastrophe of biblical proportions. You’re a photojournalist working for a major newspaper. You’re caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You’re trying to shoot career-making photos.

People, pets and houses are swirling around you. Some disappearing under the turbulent waters. Nature is unleashing all of her destructive fury.

THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a man and a woman in the water. They are fighting for their lives, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow they look familiar. You suddenly realize who they are. It’s Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi!! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take them under forever.

You have two options: You can save their lives or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the deaths of two of the world’s most powerful people.

THE QUESTION:

Here’s the question, and please give a spontaneous honest answer….

Would you select high contrast color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
