Imagine that after your presentation, someone says, "Interesting idea, but it wasn't quite convincing." How would you respond?

Select an answer:

I'll tell myself that she is probably right, and I will immediately start making a list of mistakes. I smile, thank him, and I tell myself in my mind that he lacks imagination. My smile freezes, but I'm thinking about what he could have meant by that. I will start debating with him to understand his perspective. I don't pay attention to it, I don't want to ruin my mood.

If someone repeatedly points out your weak spot, how does your relationship with them change?

Select an answer:

I will start to trust him more – I perceive it as honesty. In spirit, I distance myself – I do not feel safe. I will start to be cautious and analyze why he is doing that. I consider him a good sparring partner. I feel anger even though I don't express it.

Which image best represents your feelings when you receive feedback?

Select an answer:

A mirror that reveals details I usually overlook. A storm that disrupts the silence. A path through the forest with occasional markers. A wall that I can lean on or bump into. Fog in which I get lost.

Imagine that a mentor tells you: "You're just at the beginning, but you have potential." What do you hear between the lines?

Select an answer:

That I am still inexperienced and have a lot of work ahead of me. That I'm not good enough, but he/she doesn't want to say it directly. That they believe in me more than I believe in myself. That I have a chance to achieve something if I work hard. That he tries to be nice but doesn't have a clear opinion.

When someone highlights your strength but then adds, "it's just a pity that..." what affects you more?

Select an answer:

The positive part - I take strength from it. That critical part – it sticks in my mind. I take it all as constructive. I don't perceive it as feedback, but as a competition for dominance. It matters who says it – I'll decide based on that.

What most often prevents you from accepting feedback?

Select an answer:

The feeling of threat – that I will lose respect. A feeling of shame - that I messed something up. Feeling of uncertainty – what do they actually want from me? The feeling of futility - that I won’t change anything anyway. That the feedback is not sincere, but calculated.

How do you feel when someone asks for your opinion on their performance?

Select an answer:

Honored – I appreciate the trust. Nervous – what if I say something hurtful? Reserved – I will provide feedback, but cautiously. Vigilant – I wonder what is behind that. Confident – I enjoy analyzing and helping.

When you think back to someone who helped you move forward through criticism, what comes to mind first?

Select an answer:

Pain – but it was worth it. It changed my view of myself. I realized that he knew me better than I knew myself. I miss such a person today. Even today, I am more vigilant against mistakes because of that.

"Feedback is important for me..."

Select an answer:

Compass - helps me maintain direction. Mirror – sometimes I don't want to see the reflection. Test – will I manage it, or will I break? Game – I can move in it. Source of chaos – I don't know how to deal with it.
