Self-confidence and assertiveness

Imagine you are in a group where an important decision is being made. How do you react if you have a different opinion than the majority? I will openly express my opinion and argue, even if I'm the only one who thinks so.
I try to understand others first and only then I offer my perspective.
I’d rather keep it to myself to avoid conflict.
I will try to lead the discussion in a way that everyone can express their opinion without pressure.
I will remain silent, but if someone else says what I think, I will support them.

How do you feel when someone criticizes you in front of others? I am open to hearing criticism and will consider whether it is valid.
I defend myself, explain my position, and show a different perspective.
I'm sorry about that, but I won't admit it; instead, I will withdraw into myself.
I take it personally, I feel insecure, and I prefer to avoid similar situations.
I see it as an opportunity to improve if the criticism makes sense.

If you ask someone for help and they refuse, what will you do? I will understand that he has his reasons, and I will try to resolve it another way.
I'll tell myself that there's nothing I can do, and I prefer not to rely on others.
I will try to find a way to convince him that he could help me.
I wonder if I asked him in an inappropriate way, and I try a different approach.
I feel rejected and I'm hesitant whether I will ever ask anyone for help again.

How do you react when something is said in a group that you disagree with? I will share my opinion and give space for discussion.
I will consider if it is worth it and I will get back to you only if it is really important.
I would rather not express myself to avoid causing problems.
I will try to lead the group to a different perspective with questions.
I will wait for the right moment and then express my opinion individually.

How would you react if you had to speak in front of a large audience? I am looking forward to the opportunity; it is a challenge I want to overcome.

I am afraid of it, but if I have to, I will endure it somehow.
I feel anxious and I am looking for a way to avoid it.
I will make sure to be as well prepared as possible so that nothing surprises me.

Imagine you are in a new group of people. How do you behave? I’m trying to quickly engage in conversations and be natural.
First, I observe the dynamics, and gradually I join in.
I am waiting for someone to approach me, and only then will I get more involved.
I keep to the background because I don't know how I will be accepted.
I am looking for someone I feel a connection with, and I will start talking to them.

What will you do if someone interrupts you and doesn't give you the chance to finish speaking? I will calmly stop him and remind him that I haven't finished yet.
I'll wait to see if he realizes it himself; if not, I'll reach out later.
I will let him speak and give up my space.
I am trying to find a moment when I can continue without pressure.
I will start speaking more emphatically so that he understands that I am not finished.

How do you react when you have to express disagreement with someone you respect? I will express my opinion honestly, but with respect.
I will try to understand his perspective first and then express my disagreement.
I have a problem saying no, I prefer to gently hint at my disagreement.
I fear the reaction, so I am looking for a way to avoid the discussion.
I am trying to point out a different perspective without being too confrontational.

How would you react if you saw someone inappropriately criticizing your friend? I would stand up for him and express my disagreement.
I would try to calm the situation and offer a different perspective.
First, I would assess the situation and decide whether it is appropriate to intervene.
I wouldn't intervene directly, but later I would support my friend in person.
I would feel uncomfortable, but I wouldn't know how to behave correctly.

How do you feel when you have to ask for something that matters a lot to you? I have no problem with it, I can justify why I need it.
I feel a slight nervousness, but I can do it.
I am considering all possible reactions from the other side, which is holding me back a bit.
I feel uncertainty, I am afraid that I will be rejected.
I would rather take care of it myself to avoid the risk of rejection.
