1 .) You are the team leader for a project at work, and one of your team members doesn't show up for a big presentation. How do you deal with the stress?
  1. You try to reconceptualize your strategy and concentrate on the task at hand.
  2. You remind yourself and your team that the presentation is a great opportunity and it's time to focus and really dig in.
  3. You inspire your team by telling them that your success will be sweeter because you had obstacles along the way.
  4. You keep yourself focused on what you can do to make the situation better.
2 .) Your friend becomes overly paranoid about a new girl who keeps commenting on her boyfriend’s Facebook wall. What advice would you give her?
  1. Talking is normal. She should stop driving herself insane with overly suspicious and unfounded interpretations of her boyfriend’s activities.
  2. She should appreciate every day that she has with her boyfriend instead of dwelling on things that haven't happened--and might never happen.
  3. She is such a great girlfriend and has so many good characteristics that she doesn’t need to feel threatened by this new girl.

3 .) You cook a new dish for the first time, but it doesn’t come out right. How do you react?
  1. Shrug it off, whistle a happy tune, and give it to the dogs.

  3. Tell yourself that might not be chef material, but you don’t really have to be an expert in everything.
  4. You don't really care if you didn't do so well the first time. You enjoyed the process, and you know you'll do better next time.
4 .) What kind of movie character do you identify with?
  1. The cool and bubbly chick who is loved by all
  2. The adventurous girl who lives life to the fullest
  3. The girl who knows her faults but still believes in herself
  4. The strong independent woman who goes for what she wants in life
5 .) How do you define happiness?
  1. Happiness is telling yourself that you shouldn't get worked up over little annoyances in life.
  2. Happiness is drawing from inner reservoirs of strength and finding the courage to get out of your comfort zone.
  3. Happiness is maintaining a positive attitude despite the obstacles that get in your way.
  4. Happiness is having the freedom to do what you want when and however you want it.
6 .) What picture do you have on your vision board?
  1. A simple smiley face
  2. A picture of someone bungee jumping
  3. A picture of someone who has overcome great obstacles

7 .) You finally have free time. What do you do?

  2. You set your sights on an even greater goal.
  3. You make a change and try something else that plays to your strengths.
  4. You go back to the drawing board and see how you can make your vision clear to others.
9 .) When making choices in life, what do you base your decisions on?
  1. What will make you happy
  2. What you think is more challenging
  3. What matches your strengths the most
