  1. It's Friday after a long week. What sounds better? Grabbing drinks with the team, or heading home to recharge alone?
  2. You walk into a room full of people you don't know. Do you start introducing yourself around, or do you find one person to talk to first?
  3. It's a big group brainstorm meeting. Do you think out loud, in real time, or would you rather think it through, then share?
  4. Right after presenting to a big room: do you feel energized, or do you feel like you need quiet time to recover?
  5. Your desk, or your inbox, right now: organized, mostly under control, or a little, or a lot, chaotic?
  6. You're given a task with a loose deadline. Do you start early, finish ahead of time, or will you'll get there, probably closer to the deadline?
  7. A new project starts. Your instinct: build the plan first, or start doing, figure out the plan as you go?
  8. How do you feel about routines? I like having one, or do they start to feel confining after a while?
  9. Something goes wrong right before a big meeting. Does it rattle you for a while, or do you reset fast and move on?
  10. You're waiting to hear back on something important. Is it hard not to think about it, or do you mostly forget about it until you hear something?
  11. Someone gives you sharp criticism. Does it sting for a bit, even if it's fair, or do you take it in and move on pretty quickly?
  12. How often do you feel stressed at work? More than I'd like, or rarely, even when things get hectic?
  13. A friend asks your honest opinion on something you don't love. Do you find the kind way to say it, or do you just tell them?
  14. Someone on your team pushes back on your plan. Do you look for the middle ground, or do you defend your reasoning?
  15. There's tension in the room during a meeting. Do you want to smooth it over, or would you rather name it directly?
  16. You disagree with a decision your team made. Do you go along with it, mostly, or do you say something, even if it's unpopular?
  17. A completely new approach is proposed for something that already works fine. Are you curious, want to try it, or would you rather not fix what isn't broken?
  18. Your ideal weekend: something new you haven't done before, or something familiar and comfortable?
  19. A meeting turns into a big-picture, hypothetical discussion. Are you into it, or would you rather get back to something concrete?
  20. How do you feel about abstract ideas or theory? I like exploring them, or I care more about what's practical?
