Hmmm, would the screening process put the candidates in any intense duress before subjecting them to the [s]horrors[/s] assignments given to them? If not then I could pass the thing off as a form of survival instincts on an extreme level as complete apathy (or lack of emotional development) to act for anyone else besides himself (or fall on the other end of the scale, where he isn't phased by death and willingly challenges it to end his life since he has nothing to lose).

If such testing is done to D-class candidates, then I'll rework it into another aspect.
