I'll smile, but inside I think he's wrong. My smile freezes and I wonder what they are after. I will take it as evidence that I am doing something right. I'll lighten it up with a joke or redirect it to someone else. I will be pleased, but I feel the pressure that I have to confirm it next time.

At the exhibition, there is a painting without a description. Which of these reactions is closest to you?

Imagine you receive an offer that pushes you forward but also scares you. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will refuse, I am not ready for it yet. I hesitate for a long time and weigh the risks. I'll accept it – after all, it will somehow be managed. I will call someone I trust to tell me what they think. I'll say to myself, "If not now, when?" and I go for it.
