When two young engineers, who both had the same
qualifications applied for a single position at a computer company, the
Department manager asked them to take a test. Upon completion of the test, both
men missed only one of the questions.
The Department manager went to the first applicant and said,
"Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the job to the
other applicant." But the rejected applicant asked, "And why would
you be doing that? We both got 9 questions correct." And the Department
manager explained, "We have based our decision not on the correct answers,
but on the question you both missed."
Not completely satisfied, the rejected applicant asked, "And
just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?" Then, the
Department manager said, "Simple, when on the missed question, your fellow
applicant put down, I don't know; you put down, neither do I."
