Imagine your friend gets angry at you for something you didn't consider a problem. How would you react?

Select an answer:

I will wait until they calm down, and then I will try to explain the situation. I immediately defend myself and explain my perspective, so that he knows I had no bad intentions. I'll let him sort it out himself; if he wants to be angry, it's his problem. I try to lighten the situation right away with a joke so that it isn't tense. I start to wonder if I really did something wrong, and I apologize even though I'm not sure if it's necessary.

You witness an argument between two close individuals. How will you behave?

Select an answer:

I intervene and try to reconcile them. I am trying to understand both of them and then I will offer them my perspective on the matter. I will stay out of the way until the situation is resolved. I will support the one who is closer to me and let him know that I am on his side. I will change the topic or divert their attention to calm the situation down.

When someone is yelling at you during an argument, how do you react?

Select an answer:

I am trying to remain calm and explain my position rationally. I will immediately raise my voice as well, so I don't look weak. I feel uncomfortable and I'm trying to escape the situation as quickly as possible. I will start laughing or react sarcastically to show that it didn't throw me off balance. I will wait until the other person calms down before I express myself.

How do you behave when someone has a completely different opinion than you?

Select an answer:

I curiously ask about his opinion and try to understand why he thinks that way. I am trying to convince him that my opinion is more correct. I will tell him that everyone has the right to their own opinion, and I won't address it further. If it is something important, I feel frustration that we cannot agree. I avoid discussion so we don't argue unnecessarily.

How do you handle a situation when you feel unfairly accused in a conflict?

Select an answer:

I calmly explain my side of the story and try to clarify the situation. I get frustrated because I can't stand when someone wrongly accuses me. I'll leave it as it is if I don't have the energy to fight for the truth. I will ironically note something in my defense and let others think what they want. I begin to doubt myself and wonder if I really made a mistake.

If you find yourself in a dispute within a group that could divide people, what will you do?

Select an answer:

I am trying to find a compromise so that the group does not split up. I will support the party I agree with more, even if it means division. I will wait to see how the situation develops and adapt accordingly. I'll let others sort it out among themselves, and I'll stay out of it. I suggest that we take a break from talking about it for a while and return to the topic later.

How do you behave when you need to express criticism to someone who is very sensitive?

Select an answer:

I phrase it gently and carefully to avoid hurting him. I will tell the truth directly, but I am trying to present it constructively. I will avoid criticism because I don't want him to feel bad. I will use humor or gentle sarcasm to let him know what I think. I would rather tell someone else who can inform him less directly.

If you are in a dispute with someone who refuses to talk, what will you do?

Select an answer:

I will wait until he is ready to talk, and then I will initiate the conversation. I will write him a message or a letter to explain my perspective. I'll leave it as it is and won't try anymore if he is not interested in communicating. I'll try to provoke him somehow to get him to respond. I will ask a mutual acquaintance to hint to him that we should talk.

How do you behave after a conflict that you managed to resolve?

Select an answer:

I feel relieved and I am trying to rebuild good relationships. I remain somewhat detached until I am sure that everything is really okay. I am analyzing more deeply what happened and thinking about how to learn from it. I don't want to revisit this and hope it will be forgotten. I will tell the others so they know that we resolved it correctly.

How would you respond if someone told you that you did not react correctly in a conflict?

Select an answer:

I listen and try to understand his perspective. I defend myself and explain why I acted the way I did. I nod and leave it be, even though I think I was right. I feel uncomfortable and start to doubt myself. I care about who said it – if I respect them, I will consider it.
