QUESTIONS: 1. Names (describe them) * The Invigilator (Colin Salmon)- The role of the Invigilator is to monitor the test and ensure that all of the test-takers follow the rules. One rule proscribes talking to the Invigilator, which several of the test-takers do, ending up in their ejection from the testing room. Salmon's calm and cool demeanor in this role gives each character's removal its own quiet, inevitable power in the movie. * Blonde (Nathalie Cox)- Blonde is the only test-taker to show compassion, when she makes sure that White receives the anti- convulsion medication that he needs. Her sensitivity plays an important role in the movie's outcome. * Deaf (John Lloyd Fillingham)- This character turns out to be the mole. He receives his name because he refuses to pay attention to anyone else in the room, at least at first. When he ultimately returns, after Blonde finally answers the question that comprises the assessment, he is really the CEO of the company conducting the assessment. The entire examination serves as a personality test to see which of the respondents is most suitable for the needs of the company. * White (Luke Mably)- White plays one of the more ruthless characters until he starts realizing his own deteriorating physical condition. He has the disease to which the hiring company has made a cure, but no one gives him any until he starts to seize on the floor. The actor's ability to carry off the role of the crazed paralytic after coming off as the group's leader is one of this movie's strong points. * Chinese Girl (Gemma Chan)- She’s desperate and more aggressive than the others, she’s the one who got disqualified first because of her aggressiveness, she didn’t follow the instruction and she didn’t think about the consequences of her actions. * Brunette (Pollyanna McIntosh)- She gives her trust easily that she

a. What domains of learning were assessed by the examiner? Explain briefly.

b. Personal learning in the story.

Also, we learned that it is always important to listen carefully to the instructor when taking an exam and we must always follow the given instructions in order to answer it properly.
