Imagine that you suddenly can't meet a deadline that is important to you. What is the first thing that triggers within you?

Select an answer:

I will start organizing everything again – I need an overview. I appear calm, but inside it is boiling. I will start acting impulsively, just to get it over with as quickly as possible. I stop and think if it all actually makes sense. I grit my teeth and move on without a word - I handle it my own way.

When someone in your surroundings dares to question your work, how does it affect you?

Select an answer:

I'm contemplating whether she is right – maybe I overlooked something. It catches me off guard unpleasantly, but nothing changes on the outside. I have the need to explain or justify it immediately. I doubt if I want to talk to that person anymore. I smile and say to myself, "That's not my problem."

How would you respond if someone challenged you with something you don't feel prepared for?

Select an answer:

I will start to find out what I am missing, and I will add it. I accept the challenge, but I feel pressure and uncertainty. I'll give it a try with enthusiasm – after all, what worse can happen? I'm looking for a way to elegantly avoid this situation. I'll mobilize my inner resources – I've already managed worse.

Imagine something unexpectedly goes wrong in your surroundings. How does it affect your inner peace?

Select an answer:

I will start planning the remedy – the sooner, the better. I feel uneasy, but I'm trying to act like it's not serious. I react quickly, often without thinking. I will step back and wait to see what happens. I will focus on what I can influence – I leave the rest as it is.

What does the word "control" mean to you?

Select an answer:

Basic tool for managing chaos. Something that I keep quietly so that no one notices it. A weapon that I use to protect myself from the unexpected. Something that I never really have completely. An illusion that shouldn't be taken too seriously.

How do you behave when someone forces you to make a quick decision?

Select an answer:

I stop and evaluate all the options first. I will choose something that guarantees me peace, even though I am not convinced. I'll decide right away – at least something will happen. I will reject the option to decide – I don't feel good under pressure. I will approach the decision with the certainty that I can handle it.

What helps you when you feel that the pressure from your surroundings is exceeding your limits?

Select an answer:

I will create a plan or a list – that keeps me afloat. I will shut myself in until it passes. I will change the environment or activity – I need to move. I avoid people and information. I will find something small that gives me a sense of control.

How do you react when you feel that something is not fair?

Select an answer:

I'm looking for ways to objectively understand the situation. I feel hurt, but I don't like to show it. I must object – the truth is important to me. I am closing my door – I want nothing to do with injustice. I accept it as part of the world – not everything can be solved all the time.

When you don't handle something the way you wanted, what happens next?

Select an answer:

I'm analyzing where the mistake was and what to change next time. I feel the need to justify it to myself and to others. In my mind, I say to myself, "It happens," and I move on. I question whether I was built for that at all. I am gaining experience – thanks to it I will be stronger.

How do you perceive your emotional reactions in challenging situations?

Select an answer:

I am trying to understand and process them. I hide them – people shouldn't see me weak. I let them out – better than holding it in. I observe them from a distance, as if someone else is experiencing it. I accept them as part of myself – that is also a part of resilience.
