Imagine that your team has to solve a mysterious message written in an unknown language. How would you approach the solution?

Select an answer:

First, I will try to find patterns and similarities with other languages. Involve others and we will divide the tasks so we can solve it together. I will try to guess based on intuition and the context of the message. First, I will check if there are any tools or codes that could help. I will ask someone more experienced who might have the answer.

You are in a situation where you have only 24 hours to come up with a solution for a big problem. How do you start?

Select an answer:

First, I will write down all possible solutions and then I will start testing them. I will quickly find out who can help me and start working with them. I will focus on the simplest solution, even though it is not ideal. I will start researching the available information and make a decision based on that. I will try to develop a completely new approach, even though it will be risky.

Imagine you are solving a problem, but it seems that no solution is working. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I'll take a break and try to look at it later with a fresh mind. I am looking for inspiration in completely unrelated fields. I'll tell myself that maybe the problem is not in the solution, but in the question itself. I will try a radically different approach, even though it seems unlikely. I will ask someone who has a different perspective on the matter.

You have a project assigned at school that seems too complicated. How will you deal with it?

Select an answer:

I will divide it into smaller parts and solve them gradually. First, I will ask the teacher if he could explain to me what is the most important. I will find a way to simplify the project and make it more efficient. I see it as a challenge and I will try to come up with a creative solution. First, I will look at how others have solved similar things and let myself be inspired.

Your friend has a problem, but doesn't want to accept any of your solutions. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will let him find his own way, even if it doesn't seem right to me. I will try to ask him questions that will lead him to the answer by himself. I will find another way to help him, perhaps indirectly. I will give him time and be ready to help when he wants. I will try to convince him with logical arguments.

Imagine you are faced with a problem and have two solutions to choose from: one is quick but of lower quality, while the other is slower but better. Which one would you choose?

Select an answer:

It depends on the situation; if time is critical, I will choose a quick solution. I would rather choose a higher quality solution, even if it takes me more time. I will try to find a compromise between speed and quality. I will ask others for their opinion, and based on that, I will decide. I will try both options on a smaller sample and see which one works better.

In school, you are faced with an unexpected problem that you were not prepared for. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I will try to improvise and do my best. First, I will take a moment to think, then I will start to act. I will try to use all available resources to find a solution. I will ask my classmates if they have any ideas. I will accept the situation as an experience and learn from it.

You are tasked with coming up with an original idea for a school project. How do you approach it?

Select an answer:

I am looking for inspiration in books, movies, or games. I am thinking about what personally interests and fascinates me the most. First, I brainstorm a lot of ideas and then I choose the best one. I will ask my friends what they are interested in, and I will work with that. I will try to come up with something completely unusual, even if it sounds crazy.

The team you work with can't agree on a solution. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will propose a vote and we will decide based on the majority. I will try to combine several ideas into one solution. I will give everyone a chance to express themselves, and we will find a compromise. I suggest that we first try one solution and see if it works. I will let the discussion run and wait for the best direction to become clear.

Imagine that you are inventing a new way to solve traffic jams. How would you approach the problem?

Select an answer:

First, I will explore what already exists and try to improve it. I will try to come up with something completely new and unexpected. I'm thinking about how nature would handle it (e.g. animal behavior). I will focus on technologies and I am looking for digital solutions. I am looking for ways to motivate people to use alternative transportation more.
