Imagine that your day has exactly 25 hours instead of 24. How would you use that extra hour?

Select an answer:

I would start pursuing a new hobby or developing my creative skills. I would use it for more work or study to be more efficient. I would use it for relaxation, sleep, or meditation. I would spend it with family, friends, or people I care about. I wouldn't even notice it; the days always pass by quickly for me anyway.

If you had to choose one object that symbolizes your work philosophy, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Watches – it is important to keep track of time and deadlines. Compass – I need a clear direction and vision. Swing – the balance between work and rest is key. Candle – I want to be a light for others and help them. Puzzle – everything must fit together and make sense.

Your friend tells you that they burned out at work. What is your first reaction?

Select an answer:

I will advise him to take a vacation or find some time for himself. I will suggest to him to find another job or change his environment. I will offer him my support and listen to him without judgment. I will try to motivate him and help him find new solutions. I don't understand how this could happen to someone – I would have handled it better.

If you had to imagine that your work stress is some kind of natural force, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Storm – sudden but intense. Fire – it burns everything and leaves nothing behind. Flood – it gradually rises and inundates all aspects of life. Drought – it drains me before I even notice. Tornado – chaotic and uncontrollable, but short-lived.

How do you feel when you have to say "no" to a colleague who is asking you for help?

Select an answer:

I feel guilty for not meeting the expectations. I will feel relieved because I know that I have my own boundaries. I don't care at all if it's not my responsibility. It depends on the situation – sometimes yes, sometimes no. I try to avoid having to say "no."

What kind of relationship do you have with work when you imagine it as a relationship with a person?

Select an answer:

He is my best friend – we understand each other and support each other. He is my strict mentor – he demands a lot from me, but he shapes me. He is my partner – we have a balanced relationship full of respect. He is my opponent – I constantly fight with him, but at the same time, he pushes me forward. He is my prison guard – I feel like he controls me.

What often drives you to put off relaxation and focus on work instead of taking care of yourself?

Select an answer:

The feeling of responsibility towards the team or the company. Fear that if I don't work enough, I won't be successful. I need to have everything done; otherwise, I don't feel good. I have no choice – my responsibilities do not allow me to slow down. I don't even know – I just do it automatically.

Imagine that your life is a movie and you are currently watching a scene where you are trying to relax. What is the genre of the movie?

Select an answer:

Documentary film – reality and routine are firmly established. Romantic drama – something always comes up that ruins my peace. Action movie – even when I'm trying to relax, something is always happening. Comedy – I take everything with humor and try to relax. Fantasy – my relaxation is an escape into a completely different world.

If you had the opportunity to customize your work week to suit yourself, what would it look like?

Select an answer:

The classic 5 days of work, 2 days off – that works for me. I'll shorten it to 4 days so I have more time for myself. I alternate between intense workdays and more relaxed days. I work flexibly, without a fixed schedule. I would prefer to work less, but more efficiently.

Imagine that your work stress has a physical form. What does it look like?

Select an answer:

A heavy stone on my shoulders that is pressing me down. A dark shadow that constantly watches me. A fast-running treadmill that I can't keep up with. A huge spider that I'm afraid of, but I can't run away from it. A locked room without windows, where I feel trapped.
