Now, answer ALL OF the following as honestly as you can. It is best to give your first immediate instinctive answer rather than pondering the question at length.

You must give an answer to every question, even if you feel there is no "right" answer, or you will not receive a score. Some of the questions deliberately put you in a pickle to see how you rationalize your way out of it.
