Imagine that someone shares your old status or photo that you wouldn't post today. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will reflect on what led me to share back then and whether it still says something about me. I will immediately contact the person and request deletion. I will turn it to my advantage with humor – after all, we all have a past. I ignore it, people will quickly find another target anyway. I will start checking all my profiles to see if there's anything else.

Your name appears in a negative article, but you know the facts are twisted. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I will write a statement on my profile so I can keep things under control. I'll wait a few days – maybe it will blow over. I am contacting a lawyer. I will confide in a close person to help me cope with stress. I will discuss it with several people to understand how it affects them.

How would you react if your employer confronted you with an unprofessional comment from your private profile?

Select an answer:

I admit the mistake, but I will explain the context and my boundaries between work and private life. I claim that it was an attempt at humor that did not work. I will start investigating who could have reported this. I will delete the entire comment and reassess my online activity. I take it as a warning that can strengthen me.

When you search for someone online, what influences your opinion the most?

Select an answer:

The way he communicates – his expression and style. What others say about him. Photography – how it is presented. What he shares about himself – his values and attitudes. How much can I find out about him at all?

What do you think about people who completely delete their online profile?

Select an answer:

They have the right to do so; everyone protects their privacy differently. They are hiding something. I admire them – they must be very aware and strong. I wonder if it's not extreme. I think they are complicating their lives, especially their work life.

What is your approach to photos where you are tagged by others?

Select an answer:

I will check them and keep some, while removing others. I'm not interested in it unless it is explicitly derogatory. I manually approve each designation – I want to keep things under control. I leave it to automation – life is colorful. I perceive it as a mirror – how others see me.

If you could go back and change one thing you once posted, what would it be?

Select an answer:

Emotional status during a difficult time. A negative comment about someone familiar. Too personal a photo. Nothing – everything shaped my digital footprint. I don't know – I'd rather not go back to the past.

How often do you Google yourself? (Your name, activities, outputs...)

Select an answer:

Once in a while, so that I have an overview. Never – I don't see a reason. Regularly, I am curious about what will appear. Only when something happens that could affect it. I am doing it anonymously so it does not affect the algorithms.

Your data has been misused in an internet scam. How will you react?

Select an answer:

I will publicly alert my surroundings and advise on how to stay safe. I am contacting the police and all affected institutions. I am closing myself off – I feel shame and helplessness. I will act immediately - I am changing passwords, notifying the bank. I am reflecting on what this says about me – where I went wrong.

What would you like people to think about you when they find your name online?

Select an answer:

He is a reliable person whom you can turn to. Thinks differently and isn't afraid to show it. He has results – he is an expert. He/She is authentic and human. He/She is unassuming but wise.
