Imagine that you find yourself in a job interview and your future boss seems charismatic but answers questions vaguely. What do you think about him?

Select an answer:

His uncertainty is only temporary; he likely has many obligations. Something is off here, I have a feeling he's not being honest. I will focus on the facts – if I have no evidence, I do not judge. What matters is how I feel – if I feel uncomfortable, I won't take this job. I'll give him a chance and get to know him better over time.

You meet a person who behaves very confidently, but you don't know them. How will you form an opinion?

Select an answer:

I go with my first impression, it mostly doesn't disappoint me. I notice his details – gestures, tone of voice, reactions to questions. I will let him speak and only then will I make a conclusion. I'm asking for facts, not impressions. I will ask someone who already knows him and compare opinions.

Imagine someone is telling you a fascinating story, but something about it doesn’t add up. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I trust my intuition and will remain vigilant. I'll wait to see if any contradiction or ambiguity arises. I trust facts more than feelings, I will check his claims. I will let myself be carried away by the story, after all, it’s just a conversation. What is important is whether what he says gives me any meaning or lesson.

A friend recommends someone to collaborate with, but you don't have a good feeling about them. How do you decide?

Select an answer:

I will trust my feeling and I won't take the risk. I'll wait for more information and give him a chance. I won't refuse, but I will be extremely cautious. I trust my friend, his judgment is more important. I will meet him and see how I feel around him.

In a new situation, the first few seconds often determine how you will behave. What most often influences your decision?

Select an answer:

My inner feeling, I don't even know why. Minor details that most people won't notice. Previous experiences and behavior patterns. Objective facts and evidence. What others tell me or the context of the situation.

When someone is speaking and you don't know if you can trust them, what do you notice first?

Select an answer:

His eyes and facial expressions. The way he/she speaks - tempo, intonation, pauses. The content of what is being said - logical connections. His body language and subconscious gestures. I will compare it with what I know about him from other sources.

If you are in a company and someone suddenly approaches you with an unexpected offer, what do you think?

Select an answer:

He probably wants something from me, but I will find out more. I'll be careful, my intuition tells me that it might not be legitimate. It depends on the situation, I usually analyze the details first. I'll give it a chance, I never know what opportunity I might get. I'll ask him a few questions to understand what he really wants.

You meet someone who is a great speaker, but something in their story is too perfect. How do you behave?

Select an answer:

I will keep my distance, even though it may just be my impression. I am looking for details that could indicate a discrepancy. I don't care whether it's true – rather, whether his words make sense to me. I will ask him something unexpected and watch his reaction. I trust people until they give me a reason to think otherwise.

How often do you feel that you predicted what would happen, but only realize it later?

Select an answer:

Very often, but not always, I pay attention to it. Sometimes, but only in retrospect do I realize that I was right. I rarely do, I prefer to rely on verified facts. It depends on the situation – sometimes I feel things, other times I don't. This has never happened to me; I make decisions solely based on rational considerations.

If you had to describe how you most often handle new situations, what would best characterize your approach?

Select an answer:

First, I perceive what my intuition tells me, and then I look for evidence. I am analyzing the available information and comparing it with the past. I rely on my initial reaction, it is usually correct. I am waiting to see how the situation develops, and I will adapt. I think rationally; facts are more important to me than feelings.
