Imagine that someone offers you an interesting opportunity, but you feel that you are not yet fully prepared. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will tell myself that every opportunity has its time, and I will wait. I will jump into it and learn on the go. I will consider the pros and cons, but I will likely decline. I will start preparing immediately so that I will be ready soon. I'll find out who can help me, and I'll get to work on it.

You will receive a tool that you are not familiar with, but you need to use it to solve an important task. How will you respond?

Select an answer:

I will start experimenting right away to see what it can do. I will wait until someone shows me how to use it correctly. I will set it aside until I have time to review it. I'll tackle the task even without him, I'd rather use tried and tested things. I am looking for a manual or a video and I will quickly learn how to use it.

You stand in front of a white canvas – you don't have a precise plan, just colors and time. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will start creating and let myself be guided by instinct. I am considering whether it makes any sense at all. I will make a sketch and only then will I begin. I ask others what they would paint. I'll leave the canvas like that – maybe another time.

You see someone starting something new with great enthusiasm but also making mistakes. What comes to your mind?

Select an answer:

I admire the courage – everyone started somehow. I think about what I would do differently. I feel a little sorry for him, but it's his choice. I will say that I would rather prepare it better. I will think about whether I should do it too.

You will receive a task that is not precisely described. How will you start solving it?

Select an answer:

I will ask follow-up questions, I need clarity. I will start with what I know and gradually refine it. I'll wait for someone else to start. I am looking for a template or inspiration. I will divide it into small parts and try to test it.

Imagine that you have to manage something important with what you have on hand. How do you feel?

Select an answer:

I manage improvisation, I feel quite good. I feel a little uncertain, but I will give it a try. I am frustrated, I enjoy working with quality. I can manage, I just need the basics. I am waiting until I have better conditions.

Your acquaintance asks you for help with something you've never done before. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I will take that as a challenge and I will give it a try. I will recommend someone who knows it better. I'll say I don't know, but we can try it together. I feel pressure, but I don't want to let him down. I would rather not get involved.

Looking back at your missed opportunities, you think...

Select an answer:

Some things were not meant for me. Every experience has moved me forward. I'm sorry, I could have taken more risks. I believe that everything happened as it should have. I have learned and today I act differently.

If you were to start something new right now, what would you do first?

Select an answer:

I will get moving – action is more than a plan. I will write down what I need. I will find out what I am still missing. I am looking for support or a partner. I doubt if this is the right moment.

You receive a message: "Opportunity comes once." How do you react?

Select an answer:

I am immediately looking for what I can do about it. I will consider whether it fits into my life. I'm getting uneasy – what if I waste it? I will smile – I don't believe it will come only once. I will mobilize everything I have and take action.
