1 .) How do you deal when you're faced with a big problem?
  1. You go with your instinct--it's usually right.
  2. You talk to your parents and ask for their advice.
  3. You spend time with your loved ones. Even if they don't have the answers, you'll at least feel better when you're around them.
  4. You make a list pros and cons, weigh possible solutions, and decide what to do after that.
2 .) Which of these four traits do you consider the most important?
  1. Being open-minded
  2. Being trustworthy
  3. Being down-to-earth
  4. Being independent
3 .) It's the day of a big presentation at work, and you're ready to go, but you also need to prepare your kids' boxed lunches, check their school bags, and so on before you leave. How do you cope?
  1. You scream in the bathroom to release stress, and then you finish everything on your to-do list.
  2. You do as much as you can, but you know your hubby will gladly assist you should things get too hectic.
  3. You remain calm since you know your kids have already fixed their school requirements themselves.
  4. You've been doing this for so long that you hardly feel stressed.
4 .) Sunday is family day! What are you planning to do?
  1. You can go out-of-town, visit the beach, check out the newest amusement park--the possibilities are endless!
  2. You're planning to treat everyone at a nice restaurant. You all deserve it!
  3. You're preparing dinner at home, and you're inviting other relatives to eat with the family too.
  4. You're going to the mall with the kids.
5 .) Your child just fell off a swing. How do you react?
  1. Scold her out of worry, then kiss the boo-boo away if it's not a serious injury
  2. Check every single part of your child's body for bruises. If things look bad, you're taking her to the hospital
  3. Whisper soothing words in her ear and calm her down before doing anything else
  4. Call the doctor or get an ambulance, depending on how bad things look
6 .) You're on the hunt for a new school for your kids. What exactly are you looking for?
  1. A school that encourages individuality and freedom of expression
  2. A school that provides a warm and caring environment for your children
  3. A school that puts a high premium on individual learning, where your kids can take lessons at their own pace
  4. A school known for its high academic standards
7 .) There's a family reunion next week. How do you feel about it?
  1. You're excited but apprehensive. Your family can be crazy at times, and things always get chaotic when all of you are around.
  2. You're happy. You love spending time with everyone in the family.
  3. You're looking forward to hanging out with your cousins.
  4. To be honest, things are strained with your relatives at the moment, but you'll go for the sake of your kids.
8 .) Your kid wants to go on a sleepover at a friend's house. How do you react?
  1. You give your permission, but also suggest that she and her friends just camp out in your family's backyard instead.
  2. You don't allow her to spend the night at her friend's house, but let them have the sleepover at your house instead.
  3. You help pack her things for the sleepover after reminding of rules she needs to follow while away from home.
  4. You don't give her your permission yet--you want to get to know her friends and talk to their parents first.
9 .) What's your disciplinary tactic when your children do something wrong?
  1. You joke about it, but still give the right punishment.
  2. You tell them what they did was wrong and trust that they won't do it again next time.
  3. You talk to them about it in a straightforward manner.
  4. You explain what they did wrong and why you have to give the appropriate punishment.
10 .) Your child approaches you for an allowance increase. What's your response?
  1. You tell her that she has to earn it first by refusing to fight with her siblings for a month.
  2. You tell her you would love to, but finances are tight at the moment, so she has to wait a little longer.
  3. You explain to her that her allowance is just enough for her needs.
  4. You agree, but on the condition that she should help around the house more.
