Imagine that your close friend did something that goes against your principles. How would you react?

Select an answer:

I will try to understand his reasons and only then I will form my opinion. I will make it clear to him that I disagree, even if it might threaten our friendship. I'll leave it as it is; we all have the right to our own decisions. I will try to influence him to realize his mistake. I will start thinking about it more and maybe I will reevaluate my own beliefs.

You must decide between two options – one is morally right, but the other may bring you personal gain. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will choose the morally right option, even if it means I will lose something because of it. I will try to find a way to get something from both options. I will consider what consequences this may have for me and for others. I will prioritize my personal benefit as long as I don't hurt anyone. I'll wait to see if the situation resolves itself without my intervention.

You find yourself in a situation where you are the only one aware of the injustice in the workplace. How will you act?

I won't intervene if it's not directly my business. I will try to understand why it happened and decide later.

What situation frustrates you the most?

Select an answer:

I would never lie, the truth is always the most important. If it is necessary, a lie can be justified. It depends on who it concerns and what the consequences are. I will try to find a solution where lying will not be necessary. I will speak the truth, but in a way that minimizes harm.
