Testing

Let's develop a test for every person on the planet.  It will have to be administered in sneaky ways, without the participants knowing that they are being tested.  It will involve a situation in which the participant is put into some bureaucratic-like position.  They will be given the authority to help or hinder some other person from achieving a goal.  The test subject will be told that there are rules which dictate that they cannot help the other person.  However, they will also be presented with a plethora of evidence showing that there will be no negative consequences for helping the person, as well as evidence showing that the hindering rule is a somewhat nonsensical or outdated policy.  If the test subject breaks the rule and helps the person, then they pass the test.  If they "follow orders" and hinder the person, then they fail, and are shipped off to some colony for mindless idiots where the other 90% of humanity (other people who have also failed the test, such as politicians, DMV employees, customer service agents, etc.) live in squalor and savagery, performing brute labor to serve the few of us who actually passed it.
