I feel confused and I don't know what to think about it. I quickly dismiss new information because it does not fit with my previous opinions. I am examining various opinions to create a broader picture of this topic.

When is it hardest for you to change your mind?

When I am convinced that I am right, and new information contradicts my experiences. When my personal identity is tied to my opinions, it is difficult to be open to change. When the topic is too complicated and I don't know how to start with new information. When I feel under pressure or there are strong opposing opinions against me. Changing my mind is natural for me if the new information is clear and convincing.

Select an answer:

I am looking for more information to understand the entire context. I feel interest, but at the same time, I have a reserved attitude and want to verify it.

I will openly accept it if it does not contradict my core values.

When faced with a conflict between two very strong opinions, what is your approach to decision-making?

Select an answer:

I analyze both sides and look for the best arguments for both. I am trying to make a quick decision based on my previous experiences. I rely on the authority that has more experience in this field.

I am trying to learn from this and approach information with greater caution in the future.

If you had to doubt something you have always taken for granted, what would it be?

Select an answer:

I would reconsider how I view people and their differing opinions. I would question my assumptions about what is fair and moral. Maybe I would start to question how much I am influenced by external factors. I would wonder if my views on the world are not narrowed down to just my culture and experiences. I would reconsider whether my decision-making is influenced by my emotional state.

How do you maintain openness to new ideas in situations where there is strong pressure to stick to your opinion?

Select an answer:

I am trying to stay calm and allowing space for reflection before I express anything. I feel that I need to stay flexible, but most of the time I resort to my opinion to avoid conflict. I usually completely conform to the opinions of others to avoid tension. I maintain balance by trying to listen while also expressing my own doubts. I respond quickly, but I try to seek reasons why my opinion might be wrong.

How do you treat information that seems unusual or unknown?

Select an answer:

I am conducting my own research to learn more and to see how this information fits into the bigger picture. I am thinking about it, but I am giving myself time to get to know them better. Sometimes I find them pointless and I avoid them. I believe that this information may have value, and I would rather accept it than ponder it. I will decide quickly whether I like it, and if so, I accept it without further questions.
