Imagine you are at a significant social event full of influential people. How do you behave?

Select an answer:

I search for groups of people, engage in conversations, and naturally connect acquaintances. I carefully observe the dynamics of the room and wait for someone to speak to me. I will focus on a specific person whom I consider important, and I will try to establish a deeper conversation with them. I prefer to stay on the sidelines and observe the events until I find someone I feel comfortable with. I am leaving soon because I don't feel good in an environment full of strangers.

You get the opportunity to introduce yourself to an influential person who could impact your career. How do you respond?

Select an answer:

I will prepare a short, persuasive presentation about myself and quickly present it. First, I listen to her, and only then do I look for a way to build on her interests. I will ask her about the specific problem she is dealing with and offer my perspective or experience. I'm trying to come across as relaxed, focusing on natural conversation. I am nervous and trying to end the situation as quickly as possible.

How do you most frequently keep in touch with people you have met in a professional environment?

Select an answer:

I regularly send them messages or articles that might interest them. I try to meet them in person for coffee or at events from time to time. I only write to them when I need something from them. I maintain contact through social media, liking and commenting on their posts. I rarely go back to old contacts; I focus on new opportunities.

If someone offers you collaboration, but you don't see an immediate benefit from it, how do you make your decision?

Select an answer:

I value long-term relationships and give chances, even when I don't see immediate profit. First, I will consider whether it will take up too much of my time and energy. I am looking for a way in which the collaboration can be beneficial for both parties. I will postpone the decision and wait for a better offer to arise. I usually refuse if I don't see a clear benefit for myself.

How do you react when someone in your professional network succeeds?

Select an answer:

I am sincerely happy for him and congratulate him; perhaps I will find inspiration as well. I'm trying to understand how he achieved success and learn from it. I will feel a slight irritation, but I try not to show it. I'm looking for a way how his success could benefit me as well. I don't feel anything special, I'm focusing on my own goals.

What type of networking event do you feel most comfortable at?

Select an answer:

At informal meetings, where I can naturally build relationships. At professional conferences where I can discuss specific topics. At exclusive VIP events, where I can meet influential people. At workshops and training sessions, where I can gain something new and also give something back. I don't seek networking, I prefer to work on my things alone.

What will you do if someone in the network stops responding to your messages?

Select an answer:

I'll wait for a while and try again with a different approach. I am analyzing whether I could have expressed myself incorrectly or made a mistake. I don't take it personally and I'm moving on to other contacts. I am trying to find another way to reach him, for example through mutual acquaintances. I resign, I consider it a waste of time.

If you were to create a mastermind group for growth and mutual support, whom would you invite?

Select an answer:

People who are in the same field as me and have similar experiences. People from various fields so that we can provide different perspectives. Only those who are demonstrably successful and have valuable contacts. Those with whom I understand personally, even if they do not have the same goals. Networking is unnatural for me, so I wouldn't form any group.

What do you think about reciprocity in networking?

Select an answer:

It is essential – if someone helps me, I always try to return the kindness. It is important, but I don't do things just to wait for something in return. I see it as a business principle – I help if I see that it will bring me value. It's nice, but not everyone deserves it; sometimes I only give it to selected people. I perceive networking as a manipulative tool; I prefer to handle things on my own.

How do you react when you realize that someone is using you just for contacts or benefits?

Select an answer:

I'm trying to set boundaries, but I'm not making a big deal out of it. I will calmly cut off contact with him if I feel that it is one-sided. I will try to take advantage of the situation as well and gain something in return. I am examining whether there is something I am missing – perhaps it is just poor communication. I refuse such relationships, I despise calculation and deceit.
