No, making mistakes is not an option.

Yes, as long as others aren’t laughing too.

Do you tend to like new people when you meet them?

Yes, I like most people, and they like me.

Sometimes, it depends on how I met them.

Most of the time I like the new people I meet.

Not really, people in general are distrustful.

Do you tend to offer more praise or criticism?

Criticism. How do people learn if you don’t tell them what they do wrong?

Praise, I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings even when they need a little help figuring out what they are doing wrong. Plus I always avoid confrontation.

I only offer praise when someone has gone above and beyond to earn it. People work better when under pressure and criticism.

I only criticize when its absolutely necessary.

I offer a balance of both. Praise and constructive criticism.

Failure is a great learning experience, and I can use it to my advantage when I try again.

I’ll probably fail at the next thing I try to.

Better luck next time.

I fail at everything I do.
