Logical Reasoning

MCQ - 171-8123

When two dozen Fortune 500 chairpersons were interviewed, all agreed that business acumen and training were rarely important criteria for corporations to consider in their selection of executives to head important corporate divisions. Selection of divisional executives was based more on interpersonal and social qualities than on learned intellectual skills. In fact, some of the most productive divisional executives had little or no business training. Unhappily for corporations, however, executives with strong interpersonal talents are seldom if ever available for hire.

Question:

In the above passage, the response of the chairpersons implies which of the following?

If a corporation believes that an executive has learned intellectual skills, it ought to consider that executive for a position as one of its divisional executives.
If a corporation determines than an executive has no business training, it ought not to consider that executive for an important divisional position.
If a corporation wants a particular executive for a divisional position, the corporation assumes that executive will have the training and business skills to perform the necessary tasks.
If a corporation determines than an executive has no business training, it ought not to consider that executive for an important divisional position.
If a corporation does not sign an executive to a division position, that executive does not have any interpersonal or social skills.

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

The chairpersons suggest that the operative criteria for choosing an executive for a divisional position are interpersonal and social skills. All other criteria (for example, business acumen and training) are unimportant. Choice (E) is not necessarily true, as more than one divisional executive candidate with interpersonal and social skills may be considered for the same position with only one executive chosen. The executive (S) not chosen for that one position may be less qualified than the candidate chosen but nevertheless may have interpersonal and social skills.
