Interviewer: So tell me, historically, who you think is the most influential person and why?
Two options: Choice 1 is a 'safer' answer. Choice 2 runs the risk of being misunderstood.
Interviewee chooses #1: I believe Martin Luther King was the most influential person in modern history because his courage and vision to stand against segregation and fight for civil rights for all persons of color have been instrumental in leading the US towards becoming a more equal nation, etc.
Interviewee chooses #2: I believe Adolf Hitler was the most influential person in modern history. His racists ideology led to the murder of millions of innocent people, etc. Hitler and his movement opened the eyes of the world to evil manifest, and his lasting legacy is that civilized society today will fight against those who share his beliefs to ensure that history is not repeated, etc.
Will the interviewee be caste in a very bad light if they choose to answer this question with Hitler regardless of the explanation as to why he was chosen?
