Dear Reader,
Having taken a number of these types of quizzes in the past, I realize they are only as useful as the data entered. There are no right or wrong answers. Sometimes it is easy to analyze quiz questions as they present themselves and then give an answer that one might think the examiner is looking for. Invariably this does both the examiner and quiz taker a disservice. To get the most out of this quiz, approach each question thinking about situations you have found yourself in or can imagine yourself in and then formulate your response. If you can do this you will get more out of this quiz.
