A great white hall stood before Hawkeye now. He had been warped out of the basic class of Characterization to the Hall Of Testing, a place frequented by The Grand Testing Instructor of O.R.P.H. But, the Grand Testing Instructor was off on a cruise. So, in his place, here was his nephew, the Grand Testing Instructor of O.R.P.H.'s nephew, or Kaleb as he was called by his friends.
Kaleb sat in a red chair, the only furniture in the otherwise entirely white hall, sobbing. His hands were in his face, and tears were falling to the floor. Here he was in the place of his uncle, who was off on a boat somewhere. Kaleb didn't have a doubt in his mind that right now, Uncle was flirting with three hot babes in bikinis and drinking a large margarita. And here Kaleb was, stuck here, as he'd always been, in these bleak, white halls.
"Approach," Kaleb said in between sobs, noticing Hawkeye. "Show me what you have learned."
He wiped the tears from his face and tried to calm down, but to no avail. How embarrassing! He had been caught in his own self pity at work! Work! How he... Hated work. Just the thought of it caused him to once more retire his face to his hands to harness the tears once more in his eyes, which he was quick to wipe away as to not seem vulnerable on the job.
"These halls," he began, "are different. They show the personality of those who are inside them. So, tell me, why are these halls white now? What have you learned in your time with that cutie Hikaru?"
The halls began to turn slightly pink as he remarked about Hikaru.
-
"You are feeling grief and I have learned about emotions." He said. He was stressed out and thus the walls changed color as did the halls and the furniture to fit his mood which was stronger than the one Kaleb was feeling.
-
"Grief?" Kaleb asked, looking up at Hawkeye. "Why do you say that? You seem stressed. Sit down and tell me about your problems," offered Kaleb as another red chair appeared nearby Kaleb and Hawkeye.
-
Hawkeye then thought about it for the briefest instant. He then sat down in one of the chairs. He was reluctant to tell Kaleb. However he began in a stressed voice "I got so much to do and so little time to do it in. Uggh, of all the stuff I have to do and abide by here. " He then remembered he had a business computer apps class and felt apprehensively.
-
"Tell me," Kaleb said, "can I meet your friend there?" K2323 said, pointing to a man who had appeared before them.
-
Slowly Hawkeye examined the guy with irritation. Hawkeye knew that he himself was sick with a fever as well as a sore throat. Perhaps it was worse than he originally thought of. In any case though his reluctance to trust K2 and Kaleb would come in handy in the long run. "So who is that man over there?" asked Hawkeye as he massaged his temples with two fingers trying to ease his headache.
-
(If it was up to me, I'd end the test right here...)

..Go back to Basic Characterization.

If I may, you most likely failed because you didn't bother to answer Kaleb's question. He said to you that the man was your friend, and so you were supposed to create the newcomer.
