Imagine that you are standing in front of large wooden doors. They are heavy and closed. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will knock and wait to see what happens. I'm looking for another way to get inside. I will go around them and take a different path. I open them without thinking, no matter what is inside. I sit in front of them and wonder why they are there.

On your journey, you will encounter a deep canyon. On the other side is what you desire. How will you overcome it?

Select an answer:

I will look for a bridge or another safe route. I will try to skip it, no matter the cost. I will wait and think about whether it is really important. I'm looking for someone to help me overcome it. I turn around and go in a different direction.

What is your first feeling when you make a mistake in front of others?

Select an answer:

Shame, I want to hide. Anger that I messed it up. Laughter, after all, everyone makes mistakes. Interest, what I can learn from it. The feeling of gratitude that I was able to learn.

Imagine that you are building a house, but it collapses. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I am desperately trying to understand where I went wrong. I will immediately start building a new, better one. I blame external circumstances. I sit down and think about whether I even want to build a house. I'll laugh and appreciate that I've learned something.

You receive a letter with a rejection of your dream. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I feel broken and I give up. I will decide to try it again with an improvement. I am angry and asking why I was rejected. I ignore it and continue on. I will write back to them that I will not give up.

What thought crosses your mind when you see someone who has not succeeded?

Select an answer:

Poor thing, it must have been difficult. He could have done it better. It is just part of the journey; sooner or later, it will succeed. In that, I see my own fear of failure. I admire his courage to give it a try.

If you could symbolically express failure with one image, what would it be?

Select an answer:

A falling house of cards. A road full of dead ends. A storm after which the sun will shine. Grain that has not yet germinated. The bridge that collapsed and needs to be repaired.

Imagine standing in front of an audience and forgetting what you were going to say. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I'm freezing and I want to leave. I'll start improvising. I take a deep breath and admit that I forgot. I'll focus on humor to lighten it up. I'll try to continue until I remember.

If failure had its own voice, what would it say to you?

Select an answer:

"Stop, it's better not to do it." "Learn from me, I am part of the journey." "You are not good enough, give it up." "Try again, this time differently." "Everyone disappoints, but only some will not give up."

What gift would you give to your past self, who is afraid of failure?

Select an answer:

A list full of encouragement. A mirror to see its growth. A rope needs support when it falls. The key to unlock your fears. A compass to find a new direction.
