I wonder if they had a Mandarin-speaking actor playing the 'family situations' part. Imagine the candidates trying to negotiate with a grumpy grandma. That would be hilarious and terrifying all at the same time.

Role-playing in Mandarin? Yikes, I'd be sweating bullets. But I guess that's the point - they want to see how the candidates handle pressure and unexpected situations.

Self-assessment? Really? That's like asking a kid to grade their own homework. Glad the company went with a more robust evaluation process here.

I think the role-playing in Mandarin is a pretty clever way to evaluate the candidates' language proficiency and cultural adaptability. Definitely a more accurate assessment than just asking them to rate their own skills.

The correct answer is C) Self-assessment. The company used role-playing to assess the candidates' skills and behavior, which falls under the category of situational assessments, not self-assessment.
