1 .) You just had a bad day at work. When you get home, you rant to your dad, and he:
  1. Tells you your boss sucks and challenges you to a video game battle to get your mind off work.
  2. Gives you practical suggestions for the problems you have at work.
  3. Suggests you crumple paper or break plates together to let off some steam.
  4. Listens to you quietly and tells you things will look up afterward.
2 .) How did your father react when you got your first boyfriend?
  1. He glared at your boyfriend and told him he didn't like him.
  2. He asked your boyfriend for his parents' credentials and interrogated him on his plans for the future.

  4. He clapped him on the back and had merienda with him to get to know him.
3 .) When you were young, what did your father usually give you on your birthday?
  1. Ice cream, cake, and sparkly things
  2. The latest Barbie doll
  3. Something he made himself
  4. Something you put on your wishlist
4 .) You had a fun night out with your girlfriends and missed the curfew still imposed at home. What does your dad do when you get back?
  1. He doesn't even notice you came home late because he fell asleep too early.
  2. He lectures you on responsibility but gives you a hug afterward.
  3. He gives you a rundown of all the bad things that could have happened to you on the road at such a late hour.
  4. He doesn't say anything, but he grounds you for a few days.
5 .) You're having dinner with your family at a restaurant when you accidentally spill some sauce on your white blouse. What does your dad do?
  1. He "accidentally" spills some sauce on his dress shirt too. Now you match.
  2. He gives you his jacket to wear, and it effectively covers the stain.
  3. He tries to remove the stain himself--and if it doesn't work, he's even got a spare shirt in the car!
  4. He sees you're mortified and asks the waiter if your family can have the rest of the food to go.

  2. He focuses too much on work and ends up neglecting you.
  3. He sometimes gives complicated advice when all you want are simple answers.
