Imagine you are in a room full of people you don't know. How do you feel?

Select an answer:

I sense the mood of the room and try to understand the dynamics. I observe and wait for someone to notice me. I quickly find someone who seems open and strike up a conversation with them. I will focus on not coming across as strange. I keep my distance in spirit, it is not an environment where I feel comfortable.

What do you notice first when someone around you remains silent during a group discussion?

Select an answer:

Their facial expression – I’m trying to figure out how they feel. I'm considering whether to give them a chance to speak. I don't care about it, everyone has the right to their own style. I become uncertain and tend to fill it with speech. I feel responsible for the atmosphere, so I react as needed.

On the street, you see a person arguing on the phone and looking agitated. What goes through your mind?

Select an answer:

I am curious about what is happening – I am trying to understand. I will quickly pass by, I don't want to get tangled up. I perceive that he is angry, but I don't want to disturb him. I'm wondering if I could somehow help. I feel tension as if it affects me personally.

During team work, someone rejects your proposal. How do you usually react?

Select an answer:

I wonder if he did it for personal reasons or because of the content. I'll tell myself that he probably had his reason – not everyone perceives things the same way. I'm starting to doubt whether my proposal was good enough. I will reach out to someone else and verify the feedback. I feel the need to defend it and explain my perspective.

When someone around you is crying but saying nothing, what will you do?

Select an answer:

I am quiet, but I stay close so he feels that he is not alone. I will ask if I can help in any way. I would like to help, but I don’t know how to respond. I feel a strong need to comfort him, even if I have to be intrusive. I don't like such situations, I avoid them.

What image comes to your mind when you hear the word "closeness"?

Select an answer:

Two people who perceive each other without words. A hug that provides peace. Sharing silence without tension. Something that needs to be earned and protected. Something that is personally complicated for me.

Imagine that someone close to you shares a failure with you. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I am trying to understand what they are going through and if they need support. I'm looking for words that would help him feel better. I feel the need to offer a solution or advice. I think about how I would feel in his/her place. I get overwhelmed with anxiety, I don't know what to say.

When someone unexpectedly explodes in anger, how do you react?

Select an answer:

I keep calm and try to understand what is behind it. I will step back and give him space. I feel that I need to calm the situation down, even though I am surprised. I will think about whether I did something wrong. I feel threatened and want to leave.

How do you perceive people who cannot recognize the moods of others?

Select an answer:

They have a different way of perceiving the world – I do not judge them. It is a challenge for me, but I am trying to get closer to them. Sometimes it bothers me, especially if it affects me. I feel frustration when basic sensitivity is lacking. I’m trying to ignore it, even though I care.

If you had to express compassion with one image, what would it be?
