16 – 18 years: Planning and strategic thinking

Imagine that you get the opportunity to plan a big school project. How do you start? I will create a detailed step-by-step plan, divide the tasks, and set deadlines.
First, I will look around to see what others are doing, and only then will I decide how to proceed.
I will start working on what I enjoy the most, and I will address the rest gradually.
I will ask a teacher or an experienced classmate what they would recommend.
I'll let it flow and deal with things on the go as the situation develops.

If you have to choose between two equally good options, what do you do? I will analyze all the details and choose the one that has the best long-term benefits.
I will wait for the next factor to appear that will help me decide.
I will choose randomly or by intuition.
I'll ask for the opinion of someone I respect.
I will choose the one that brings me the quickest success.

Imagine that you are working on an important project and an unexpected problem arises. How do you react? I am analyzing the problem and will try to find the most efficient solution.
First, I'll take a break and then I'll come back to it with a fresh mind.
I will start working on other parts of the project and postpone this problem for later.
I will try to improvise and look for a solution in that moment.
I will ask someone more experienced what they would do in such a situation.

If you're planning a trip with friends, what does your approach look like? I will gather all the details in advance, explore transportation options, and create a detailed plan.
I will plan only the basic points and leave the rest to spontaneous decisions.
First, we will agree on a common goal, and we will decide on the rest on the spot.
I'll leave the organization to someone else and adapt.
I will choose an activity that I enjoy and try to convince others.

If you had the opportunity to build your own project or business, what would be the most important thing for you? Long-term plan and sustainability of the entire concept.
Freedom and flexibility in decision-making.
Quick results and visible success.
The opportunity to collaborate with inspiring people.
Fun and the opportunity to try something new.

If you are preparing for an important test, what strategy will you choose? I will create a detailed study plan and stick to the schedule.
First, I will learn the most important parts, the rest according to the time.
I am studying intensively at the last minute; I concentrate better under pressure.
First, I will read how others have solved it, and then I will decide what is best for me.
I rely on my natural abilities and will see how it turns out.

If you could go back in time and give advice to yourself from a year ago, what would you say? Start planning early so you don't have to stress at the last minute.
Be more open to new possibilities and don't let yourself be influenced by the fear of the unknown.
Don't waste time on trivialities and focus on what is truly important.
Trust your intuition more and rely less on the advice of others.
Enjoy the present moment more and don't worry about the future so intensely.

If you have a limited amount of time to complete a task, how do you cope with it? I will divide my time efficiently and focus on the most important things.
I work better under pressure, so I try to make the most of the last minute.
I will get help from someone who has experience.
I will start with the part that comes easiest to me in order to get into the rhythm.

I will focus on my task and leave the decision-making to others.
I will support the person who has the best idea, even if it is not my own.
I will let the situation develop naturally and intervene only if necessary.

Taking risks and seizing opportunities at the right moment.
Creating a unique approach that no one else uses.
