Curiosity and determination: The key to development

In this way, their critical thinking and ability to plan strategically develop, which helps them not only in school but also in their personal and professional lives.

Imagine that your team has to solve a mysterious message written in an unknown language. How would you approach the solution?

Select an answer:

First, I will try to find patterns and similarities with other languages. Involve others and we will divide the tasks so we can solve it together. I will try to guess based on intuition and the context of the message. First, I will check if there are any tools or codes that could help. I will ask someone more experienced who might have the answer.

You are in a situation where you have only 24 hours to come up with a solution for a big problem. How do you start?

Select an answer:

First, I will write down all possible solutions and then I will start testing them. I will quickly find out who can help me and start working with them. I will focus on the simplest solution, even though it is not ideal. I will start researching the available information and make a decision based on that. I will try to develop a completely new approach, even though it will be risky.

Imagine you are solving a problem, but it seems that no solution is working. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I'll take a break and try to look at it later with a fresh mind. I am looking for inspiration in completely unrelated fields. I'll tell myself that maybe the problem is not in the solution, but in the question itself. I will try a radically different approach, even though it seems unlikely. I will ask someone who has a different perspective on the matter.

You have a project assigned at school that seems too complicated. How will you deal with it?

Select an answer:

I will divide it into smaller parts and solve them gradually. First, I will ask the teacher if he could explain to me what is the most important. I will find a way to simplify the project and make it more efficient. I see it as a challenge and I will try to come up with a creative solution. First, I will look at how others have solved similar things and let myself be inspired.

Your friend has a problem, but doesn't want to accept any of your solutions. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will let him find his own way, even if it doesn't seem right to me. I will try to ask him questions that will lead him to the answer by himself. I will find another way to help him, perhaps indirectly. I will give him time and be ready to help when he wants. I will try to convince him with logical arguments.

Imagine you are faced with a problem and have two solutions to choose from: one is quick but of lower quality, while the other is slower but better. Which one would you choose?

Select an answer:

It depends on the situation; if time is critical, I will choose a quick solution. I would rather choose a higher quality solution, even if it takes me more time. I will try to find a compromise between speed and quality. I will ask others for their opinion, and based on that, I will decide. I will try both options on a smaller sample and see which one works better.

In school, you are faced with an unexpected problem that you were not prepared for. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will try to improvise and do my best. First, I will take a moment to think, then I will start to act. I will try to use all available resources to find a solution. I will ask my classmates if they have any ideas. I will accept the situation as an experience and learn from it.

You are tasked with coming up with an original idea for a school project. How do you approach it?

Select an answer:

I am looking for inspiration in books, movies, or games. I am thinking about what personally interests and fascinates me the most. First, I brainstorm a lot of ideas and then I choose the best one. I will ask my friends what they are interested in, and I will work with that. I will try to come up with something completely unusual, even if it sounds crazy.

The team you work with can't agree on a solution. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will propose a vote and we will decide based on the majority. I will try to combine several ideas into one solution. I will give everyone a chance to express themselves, and we will find a compromise. I suggest that we first try one solution and see if it works. I will let the discussion run and wait for the best direction to become clear.

Imagine that you are inventing a new way to solve traffic jams. How would you approach the problem?

Select an answer:

First, I will explore what already exists and try to improve it. I will try to come up with something completely new and unexpected. I'm thinking about how nature would handle it (e.g. animal behavior). I will focus on technologies and I am looking for digital solutions. I am looking for ways to motivate people to use alternative transportation more.
