CH1 Apply Your Skills: Engagement Exercise Aptitude
Questionnaire Rate each of the following questions according to
the following scale: 1 I am never like this. 2 I am rarely like
this. 3 I am sometimes like this. 4 I am often like this. 5 I am
always like this. 1. When I have a number of tasks or homework
to do, I set priorities and organize the work around deadlines. 1
2 3 4 5 2. Most people would describe me as a good listener. 1 2
3 4 5 3. When I am deciding on a particular course of action for
myself (such as hobbies to pursue, languages to study, which
job to take, or special projects to be involved in), I typically
consider the long-term (three years or more) implications of
what I would choose to do. 1 2 3 4 5 4. I prefer technical or
quantitative courses rather than those involving literature,
psychology, or sociology. 1 2 3 4 5 5. When I have a serious
disagreement with someone, I hang in there and talk it out until
it is completely resolved. 1 2 3 4 5 6. When I have a project or
assignment, I really get into the details rather than the “big
picture” issues. 1 2 3 4 5 7. I would rather sit in front of my
computer than spend a lot of time with people. 1 2 3 4 5 8. I try
to include others in activities or discussions. 1 2 3 4 5 9. When
I take a course, I relate what I am learning to other courses I
took or concepts I learned elsewhere. 1 2 3 4 5 10. When
somebody makes a mistake, I want to correct the person and let
her or him know the proper answer or approach. 1 2 3 4 5 11. I

someone, rather than worry about the other person’s needs, so
that I can get on with my real work. 1 2 3 4 5 12. I have a long-
term vision of career, family, and other activities and have
thought it over carefully. 1 2 3 4 5 13. When solving problems,
I would much rather analyze some data or statistics than meet
with a group of people. 1 2 3 4 5 14. When I am working on a
group project and someone doesn’t pull their fair share of the
load, I am more likely to complain to my friends than to
confront the slacker. 1 2 3 4 5 15. Talking about ideas or
concepts can get me really enthusiastic or excited. 1 2 3 4 5 16.
The type of management course for which this book is used is
really a waste of time. 1 2 3 4 5 17. I think it is better to be
polite and not hurt people’s feelings. 1 2 3 4 5 18. Data and
things interest me more than people. 1 2 3 4 5 30 PART 1
