Imagine that in a group you are working on a common project and your idea was ignored. How do you react?

Select an answer:

I'll try to subtly suggest it to him again later. I will ask why my idea is not suitable and adjust it to the group's needs. I'll leave it as it is; if they didn't notice it, it probably wasn't good enough. I will raise my voice and repeat it more emphatically so that they notice me. I will start supporting the ideas of others so that we can move forward.

During the discussion, you notice that someone is speaking untrue or misleading information. How will you behave?

Select an answer:

I'll leave it as it is, maybe he is right and I am wrong. I gently ask about the source of information to determine if it is reliable. I will immediately correct the incorrect information so that others are not misled. I'll wait to see if someone else notices it, and if so, I'll add my opinion to theirs. After the discussion, I will talk to the person privately to raise this issue with them.

What is the most common way you express disagreement?

Select an answer:

I will ironically comment on the situation to indicate my stance. I will directly say what I disagree with, but with respect. I will try to redirect the topic to avoid conflict. I will raise my voice and argue to assert my opinion. I would rather keep my disagreement to myself and look for another way to influence the situation.

You will receive unexpected criticism from someone you respect. How will you react?

Select an answer:

I feel hurt and tend to withdraw into myself. I will ask for specific reasons and I am trying to improve. I am defending myself and explaining my point of view. I will lighten the situation with humor to avoid tension. I will reflect on the criticism, but I won't comment on it directly.

How do you feel when you have to deliver bad news to someone?

Select an answer:

I am trying to say it gently and sensitively so that it won't hurt. I prefer to postpone it until the situation somehow resolves itself. I will say it directly, without unnecessary emotions. I'm looking for a way to deliver the message that is as minimally unpleasant as possible. I will send a message via text or email to avoid direct contact.

You are in a new group of people. How do you behave?

Select an answer:

I carefully observe the dynamics of the group before joining in. I actively engage right away and try to capture interest. I keep in the background and wait for someone to address me. I will try to find one person to start talking to. I use humor or interesting stories to gain attention.

How do you react when you find yourself in an uncomfortable silence during a conversation?

Select an answer:

I will let silence flow naturally, maybe it is okay. I will ask a question to restart the conversation. I will start talking about a random topic to fill the gap. I feel uncomfortable and I'm waiting for the other person to take the initiative. I will use humor to loosen the atmosphere.

How do you perceive nonverbal communication during a conversation?

Select an answer:

I often observe facial expressions and gestures to better understand the mood. I ignore her, I focus mainly on the words. I am aware of it, but I rely more on intuition. I usually consciously use nonverbal communication to reinforce my words. I don't always know how to evaluate it correctly; sometimes I make mistakes in it.

How do you approach conflict resolution?

Select an answer:

I am trying to find a compromise that will suit everyone. If possible, I completely avoid conflicts. I address a conflict immediately and openly to clarify the situation. I try to understand the feelings of the other side before I express myself. I use logical arguments to defend my opinion.

How do you react when someone doesn't understand what you're trying to explain to them?

Select an answer:

I am patiently trying to explain it in other words. I feel frustrated and I am looking for a different way to communicate. I would rather ask what exactly was not understood so that I can adjust it. I will say the same thing, just louder and more emphatically. I'll leave it like that; if he didn't understand it, it's probably not important to him.
