1. ARE YOU A SELF STARTER?
A. I do things on my own. Nobody has to tell me to
get going.
B. If someone gets me started, I keep going all right.

2. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE?
A. I like people. I can get along with just about anybody.

do.

if I feel like it.
4. CAN YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY?
A. I like to take charge of things and see them through.
B. I'll take over if I have to, but I'd rather let
someone else be responsible.
C. There's always some eager beaver around wanting to
show how smart he (she) is. I say, let him (her).
5. HOW GOOD AN ORGANIZER ARE YOU?
A. I like to have a plan before I start. I'm usually the one
to get things lined up when the group wants to do something.

7. CAN YOU MAKE DECISIONS?
A. I can make up my mind in a hurry if I have to.

the other way.

8. CAN PEOPLE TRUST WHAT YOU SAY?
A. You bet they can. I don't say things I don't mean.
B. I try to be on the level most of the time, but
sometimes I just say what's easiest.

let anything stop me.

seem to.
