Photo by digitaura.This is fun when you are interviewing job candidates, preferably for something in the coporate universe:
Greet the candidate warmly and guide him or her to a small office. The office door should have a small peephole suitable for observation--the more obvious the better. Invite the candidate to have a seat while you make some preparations. Close the door of the room, leaving the candidate to sit by himself/herself.
Slide a ceiling tile to the side and lower a banana on a string--just out of reach. Then go to the peephole and watch the candidate's reaction.
It seems rather far flung— surely you could make the same assessment from an introductory conversation… Although I could see the potential for entertainment value in the chronically bored.
