1. You're being interviewed for your dream job and they ask you about a previous job from which you got sacked. Do you:
  Try to gloss over it
  Justify your ex-employer's actions in terms of the current job market
  Admit that you actually deserved to get the boot
  Rant on about how unfair the sacking was
  Explain what you've learned since the event
 
2. You've returned from a shopping trip to discover that your mobile phone's not in your handbag. Your reaction is to:
  Re-check your handbag, try ringing your mobile and retrace your steps
  Wonder how you're going to fudge it with the insurance company
  Shrug it off and carry on with your day
  Kick yourself over your forgetfulness
  Suspect it's been pick-pocketed
 
3. When you meet someone you fancy - this applies whether you're single or in a relationship - you will:
  Be convinced that there's no way they'd fancy you
  Enjoy the feeling of fancying them
  Giggle nervously and talk non-stop
  Ask focused questions and discover whether they'd be a suitable partner
  Listen, smile and make sure you don't say anything that could put them off
 
4. Feeling under pressure, such as in an exam or during an appraisal, is guaranteed to:
  Make you lose the plot
  Make your mind go into overdrive
  Make you desperate to get it right
  Make you stroppy and resentful
  Make you perform to the max
