How does this apply to you? Choose the answers that describe you best:

1Imagine you are at the start of an expedition and the team is waiting for a decision on where to go. How do you respond?

Choose an answer

I will propose my own route, but I will let the group decide. I will focus on what will suit the group the most. I am closely following the discussion, but I am keeping my distance. I will support the majority, especially as long as we keep moving forward. I am particularly interested in what the route offers me personally.

2During the expedition, someone gets lost. What is your first impulse?

Choose an answer

I will organize a search and give instructions to the others. I will stay with the group to avoid another panic. I will propose practical steps and a logical distribution of tasks. I feel strong emotions, but I try to keep them in check. I believe that everything will be resolved – after all, everyone is responsible for themselves.

3The team needs to divide items into backpacks. Which approach is closest to you?

Choose an answer

I will take the hardest things - so that others can have peace. I will propose a system to make it fair. I will wait for how others agree, and I will adapt. I take care of my backpack to be ready. I prefer what suits me best – I can't stand compromises.

4In the evening by the fire, everyone is to share one thing about themselves. How do you perceive this?

Choose an answer

Great opportunity – I'm happy to open up. I only share what I consider safe. I prefer listening rather than talking about myself. I will use it to create a good atmosphere. It feels artificial to me – such things should come naturally.

5It is raining on the way, the expedition is tired. What are you doing?

Choose an answer

I am trying to maintain a positive mood. I propose practical solutions and a shelter. I need to take a break for a moment and calm down. I look at the situation from a distance – it will pass. I'm starting to wonder if it was all worth it.

6An unexpected change of plans is coming. How do you react?

Choose an answer

I will take the initiative and adjust the strategy. I am looking for ways to preserve as much as possible from the original plan. I accept the changes, but with slight frustration. I take it as a challenge – maybe something better will come out of it. I am contemplating whether I should go my own way.

7The group is voting on where to sleep. What is important to you?

Choose an answer

Safety and logic. Atmosphere and shared experience. The possibility of having your own space. What will work best for the majority. That it will be interesting and different than usual.

8Someone in the team is starting to be critical and irritated. How do you respond?

Choose an answer

I'm looking for the cause behind the behavior – maybe something is going on emotionally. I will confront him – such behavior ruins the atmosphere. I will calm the situation with humor or distance. I am trying to bring others together so that tension doesn't divide the team. I am wondering if it might be better to distance myself from that person.

9At the end of the expedition, everyone writes a short entry in the team journal. What would you write there?

Choose an answer

A specific experience that has shaped me the most. Something that can be inspiring for others. A funny moment that entertained all of us. Thank you message to the group or specific individuals. A personal reflection without the need to share it with everyone.

10Imagine another expedition. Which role suits you best?

Choose an answer

Organizer – I hold the plan and details. Support - I sense the moods and keep the team together. Observer – I perceive the whole and share insights. Motivator – I maintain the rhythm, energy, and direction. Independent player – I am part of a team, but I need freedom.
