Imagine that you have invested a lot of effort into a project that ultimately did not succeed. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I will do an analysis of what went wrong so that I can learn from it. I will step back for a moment and give myself time to process my emotions. I blame external circumstances or other people for my failures. I will immediately start a new project to repair my reputation. I will abandon any similar attempts to avoid further failure.

In hindsight, what comes to mind first when you think of your past failures?

Select an answer:

I see important lessons in them that have helped me move forward. I feel guilt and wish I could do things differently. I'm trying not to think about them and to move on. I perceive them as proof that I am not good enough. They motivate me to be stronger and better.

How do you react when someone close to you tells you that you have failed at something?

Select an answer:

I thank him for the feedback and I am thinking about improving. I defend my decisions and seek a way to prove the opposite. I feel offended and I am trying to avoid further discussions on this topic. I lighten the situation with humor to cover up uncomfortable feelings. I will start to doubt myself and my abilities.

Imagine that you could erase your biggest failure from your memory. What would you do?

Select an answer:

I will leave it as it is, because it has shaped me as a person. I would delete it to avoid shame or pain. I would just remove the unpleasant feelings but keep the lesson. First, I would consult someone I trust. I would use it as an opportunity for a new beginning.

When you see that someone else has failed in their efforts, what do you think about it?

Select an answer:

It is a natural part of growth and learning. It means that he probably didn't prepare adequately. I feel compassion for him and offer help. I'm glad I'm not in his situation. I am inspired when I see how he/she copes with it.

If you had to come up with a metaphor for failure, what would it be?

Select an answer:

A storm that may cause damage, but after it, the sun will shine. A broken mirror – once it breaks, it cannot be repaired. Labyrinth – sometimes we get lost, but we can always find our way out. Springboard – it can elevate us higher if we use it correctly. Burning bridge – some mistakes leave irreversible consequences.

If you had to name your failure, what would it be?

Select an answer:

A teacher because they taught me something important. A ghost, because it keeps coming back to my mind. A leap into the unknown because I dared to try something new. A black hole, because it has consumed my self-confidence. Test drive, because it wasn't final.

When something doesn't go your way, what is your first emotional impulse?

Select an answer:

Think about what I can do differently. To feel frustration or anger towards oneself or the situation. To feel ashamed and have the desire to withdraw. Seek support from friends or loved ones. Continue as if nothing happened.

If you could go back in time and fix one of your failures, which one would it be?

Select an answer:

The one that influenced my self-confidence the most. The one who caused pain to someone else. The one that took me the most time or resources. I wouldn't change anything; everything has its reason. The one who discouraged me from trying again.

What would you say to someone who has just experienced a major failure?

Select an answer:

Every great success started with a series of failures. It's okay to feel bad, but don't stay there too long. Learn from it, but don’t let it define you. Don't give up, even when it seems that it doesn't make sense right now. Sometimes it is better to change direction than to stubbornly fight.
