Imagine that your colleague received an award for teamwork, but you believe that you contributed equally or more. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will congratulate him and realize that the team's recognition is more important than individual credit. I feel unfairly overlooked, but I decide to work even harder. I will start to present my achievements more so that they are visible. In private, I will express disappointment, but in public, I will maintain a professional attitude. I will start to doubt the fairness of the reward system.

During the meeting, you noticed that a colleague is making a mistake that could affect the entire team. How do you proceed?

Select an answer:

I will wait until they finish speaking, and I'll discreetly point it out. I don't deal with it unless it concerns me directly. In private, I will point out the mistake to him so he doesn't lose face. I will correct him immediately to avoid potential problems. I will give him space to realize his mistake on his own, and I plan to intervene only if necessary.

You will be tasked with leading a new project, but you have no experience in managing it. How will you approach this?

Select an answer:

I'll take it as a challenge and learn the necessary things on the go. I am seeking advice from more experienced colleagues to avoid unnecessary mistakes. I ask myself why they chose me, and I feel uncertainty. I will try to delegate most tasks to the more competent members of the team. I am wondering if this is a test of my ability to adapt, and I am trying to manage it.

What work task gives you the greatest sense of fulfillment?

Select an answer:

When I can help my colleagues and see that my contribution has value. When I finish a challenging task and know that I accomplished it on my own. When I can be creative and bring new solutions. When I have a clear plan and know exactly what is expected of me. When I receive recognition for my work and see its specific impact.

What approach do you prefer when resolving conflicts at work?

Select an answer:

Calmly and rationally seek a solution that suits all parties involved. Express your stance directly and loudly, even if it means confrontation. I'll let things cool off and hope that the problem resolves itself. I am looking for a mediator who can help ease the situation. I will step back to avoid worsening the situation, even though I am not satisfied with it.

What I value most when working in a team is?

Select an answer:

Good communication and mutual support. Effectiveness and clearly defined tasks. The opportunity to express one's individuality and creative ideas. A fair system of rewards and recognition. Autonomy, where everyone can work at their own pace.

You received feedback that is critical but constructive. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

Thank you, and I am thinking about how I can learn from this. At first, I feel affected, but later I consider it rationally. I will start to defend myself because I feel that it was not fair. I'm thinking whether I am in the wrong work environment. I will use it as motivation for improvement, but I am also trying to better showcase my strengths.

Imagine that your colleague is constantly overwhelmed with work but refuses help. How would you behave?

Select an answer:

I will offer him help and explain that there is no shame in accepting it. I do nothing until he asks for help himself. I am trying to motivate him to delegate tasks better. I will inform my supervisor that the situation may impact the entire team. I will indirectly help him by taking on part of his work without him noticing.

If you could choose your ideal work environment, what would it be like?

Select an answer:

Supportive and based on mutual assistance. Effective and results-oriented. Dynamic, where there is space for creativity. Structured and with clearly defined rules. Flexible, where I can work in my own style.

What type of colleague bothers you the most in a work team?

Select an answer:

Someone who doesn't do their part of the work and relies on others. Someone who constantly criticizes and complains. Someone who is too passive and does not show initiative. Someone who tries to excel at the expense of others. Someone who is too chaotic and disorganized.
