Imagine that you receive unexpected financial resources that you do not have to use for yourself. How would you handle them?

Select an answer:

I will establish a grant fund to support small community projects. I will support a specific family or person in need that I know. I invest them in an ecological or educational project with a long-term impact. I will use them to organize charitable events and to raise additional funds. I am giving them away anonymously to someone who needs them the most, without expecting any feedback in return.

In the workplace, you find out that a colleague received an undeserved punishment from a superior. How will you react?

Select an answer:

I will try to find out more and discreetly talk to my supervisor. I will organize a discussion among employees to improve working conditions. I will support my colleague, but I will avoid direct confrontation in order not to risk my position. I will suggest to my colleague to reach out on his own, and I will offer him support from behind the scenes. I ignore the situation – I consider it his problem, one that I will not get involved in.

In your city, public space used by the community is being eliminated. What is your reaction?

Select an answer:

I will organize a petition and reach out to the media so that the public becomes aware of it. I will propose an alternative solution and get involved in negotiations with the relevant parties. I will support the activists who are already engaged, but I will not be the leader of the initiative. I will join the discussion on social media, but I will not take any specific actions. I don't care, it's not my concern.

On the street, you see a person who clearly needs help, but others are ignoring him. What will you do?

Select an answer:

Without hesitation, I will approach and offer help. I will reach out to someone else so that we can find a solution together. I will assess the situation and help only if it doesn't seem dangerous to me. I will leave it to the competent authorities, I will call for help and I will not intervene directly. I can't help, I believe that everyone is responsible for themselves.

Imagine that your close friend is in financial trouble but isn’t asking for help. How would you behave?

Select an answer:

Together we will find a solution – I will offer financial support or other assistance. I will ask him directly, but if he refuses, I won't push. I will suggest him an option for help, but only discreetly, so he doesn't lose his dignity. I will wait to see if he reaches out – I don't want to invade his privacy. I can't help – everyone has to solve their own problems.

You are at a public event where someone is spreading disinformation or harmful opinions. How do you act?

Select an answer:

I oppose him and present the facts, even if it causes conflict. I will ask questions that will lead him to think, without direct confrontation. I will support those who are already reacting to it, but I will not get involved myself. I do not react, everyone has the right to their opinion, even if I do not agree with it. I'm leaving – I'm not interested in getting involved in similar discussions.

If you had one day to improve the lives of other people, how would you use it?

Select an answer:

I would organize a community meeting and address local issues. I would spend the day with lonely or sick people. I would help young people in their development - through mentoring or education. I would engage in environmental activities, such as cleaning up nature. I wouldn't do anything remarkable; I would focus on regular duties.

Your company plans to support charity, but lets employees vote on where the money will go. How do you decide?

Select an answer:

I will support the initiative and promote the project that I consider the most important. I suggest that the money be divided among several necessary areas. I will ask my colleagues for their opinions and support the most popular suggestion. I will abstain from voting – I don't want to get involved in it. I suggest that the money be used within the company, not for charity.

If you had the chance to anonymously help someone you don't know, would you do it?

Select an answer:

Yes, without hesitation – help is important even without personal contact. Yes, but only if I were sure that it has a real impact. Maybe – it would depend on the circumstances and the reasons for the help. No, I prefer to help people I know personally. No, I don’t see a reason to help unknown people.

What does being socially engaged mean to you?

Select an answer:

Being an active member of the community and participating in changes. Helping individuals when I see that they need it. Support organizations or initiatives that are doing good work.
