How do you feel when you encounter a difficult task that is not going as you expected?

Select an answer:

I feel frustration and I am afraid that I am not good enough. I'm trying to find out what I can improve and I'm looking for new ways to do that. I usually give up because it seems like too big of a challenge. I'll take it as a challenge, and I know it will get better with practice. I will focus on other activities that I find easier to succeed in.

How do you respond to criticism from a colleague or supervisor?

Select an answer:

Breaking and defending my position because I feel unsuccessful. I am examining what I can gain from criticism and how I can improve. I feel like something is not right with me, and I start to doubt. I see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. I try to ignore criticism so I don't feel bad.

What is your approach to learning new skills?

Select an answer:

I usually avoid it because I am afraid I will fail. I am ready to try new things and learn from my own mistakes. I feel frustrated if I can't do it immediately. I prefer to learn only what I know I can master, so I don't feel bad. I consider learning to be a process where I improve with each failure.

How do you view your successes?

Select an answer:

I feel that it is just luck or coincidence. I like to focus on small steps that lead to greater success. I’m glad it worked, but I don’t feel like I deserve the success. Success is an indicator for me that hard work and perseverance bring results. I don't focus on successes because I never value them enough.

How would you react if you failed at something you had worked hard on for years?

Select an answer:

That would completely break me, and I wouldn't be able to recover from it. I'll try again with a different approach and work even harder. I would doubt my abilities and maybe I would give up. I won't stop; there's always a way to come back and improve it. I would definitely cope with it, just with difficulties, but I would never give up completely.

When facing obstacles, what is your first step?

Select an answer:

I'm trying to ignore it because I'm afraid I won't be successful. I am looking for solutions and will persistently focus on achieving my goal. I tend to stress about it and let myself be intimidated. I will focus on what will move me forward and adapt to the situation. I don't know how I should respond, and that's why I often face problems passively.

When was the last time you failed, and what did you learn from it?

Select an answer:

Nothing, failure is something that I find hard to process, and I never improve. I realized that it was an opportunity for me to focus on improving myself. Failure convinced me that I am not capable enough for success. I view failure as part of the learning process and growing experience. After a failure, I try to focus on another goal that is easier.

How do you handle a challenging and complex project?

Select an answer:

I am only browsing it superficially and focusing on what is the easiest. I will plan everything and break it down into smaller steps to manage it better. I feel like I don't have a chance to succeed, and I often give up. I will focus on each phase of the project and won't stop until it is completed. When a project doesn't go as planned, it becomes frustrating and doesn't bring a sense of satisfaction.

When do you feel the most motivated to work on your goals?

Select an answer:

When I see immediate results, otherwise it quickly stops being interesting to me. When I focus on the process and do not pay attention to immediate results. I am motivated by the feeling that I must achieve something to make up for past failures. It motivates me to see that I am making progress and every little step is important. I am only motivated when I have a specific goal that is simple and quickly achievable.

What is your attitude towards the failures of other people?

Select an answer:

The failures of others reinforce my belief that I also cannot succeed. I perceive the failures of others as an opportunity to learn from their mistakes. These are failures that discourage me from trying because I fear I will experience them too. From the failures of others, I learn that everyone has their weak points, and that's normal. When someone fails, I feel that their success is unlikely and it discourages me.
