Imagine that your plan is disrupted by something unexpected. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I will stop and silently think about what to do next. I am looking for an alternative quickly and will organize the others. I need to talk to someone to process it. I am trying to show nothing and continue as if nothing happened. I'll tell myself that it's a sign that I shouldn't have done it.

A close friend unexpectedly criticizes you in front of a group of people. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will feel sad, but I won't say anything – I will process it later. I will tell him openly that it hurt me. I will respond ironically to alleviate the tension. I will start to analyze whether there was any truth to it. In my mind, I distance myself from him and trust him less.

The teacher gives you an assignment that you disagree with. How do you handle it?

Select an answer:

I am trying to understand his perspective and find the meaning of the task. I will fulfill it, but with my own twist. I'll leave it as it is and do only the minimum. I will tell him that I disagree with it and suggest an alternative. I will take it as a challenge and I will put in the effort.

Do you feel unheard in the group? How do you respond to that?

Select an answer:

I will start asking others to create space for myself. I pull away and wonder if I have anything to say. I will change the topic and try to engage differently. I will raise my voice and say what is on my mind. I will remember that and I would rather create a smaller, closer circle.

You built something for a long time and someone cancels it without explanation. What do you feel?

Select an answer:

Disappointment and sadness – I need a moment to gather myself. Anger – I have to release it. Doubt – perhaps it wasn't worth it. Courage – I know that I can try again. Silence – I won't show anything, but I will remember it.

Someone in the group has a completely different opinion than you. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I'm asking why he thinks that – I'm interested in his point of view. I am considering whether it is important for me to respond. I am looking for common points to get closer. I defend my stance and try to explain it. I will back down – I don't feel like getting into a conflict.

After an argument with a close person, you are alone. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I am going through in my mind what I could have done differently. I will write him a message when I calm down. I'm looking for something that calms me down – music, nature, sports. I'll push it aside – I don't want to feel it. I feel the need to talk to someone else.

A friend confides in you about something serious, but it weighs on you. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will focus on him – after all, I will need support someday too. I suggest that we can talk about it later. I feel pressure, but I am trying to process it within myself. I will honestly tell him that I don't know how to help him. I will offer him solutions – I want to actively help him.

You are starting a new project, but the people around you do not believe in it. How will you approach this?

Select an answer:

I will consider whether it makes sense to continue. It motivates me – I want to prove the opposite to them. I am trying to explain to them why it is important to me. I will start to doubt, but I will keep it to myself. I ignore their opinions and do my own thing.

If you have to choose between a school obligation and an important meeting with a friend, which one will you prioritize?

Select an answer:

I make decisions based on long-term consequences. I'm going to see my friend – relationships are important to me. I will divide my time so that I can handle at least a bit of both. Obligation – first responsibility, then fun. I ask someone for advice; it helps me to hear an outside opinion.
