Are you a Problem-Solver, Avoider, Competitor, or a Peacemaker?

Ever wonder how you handle conflicts and challenges? Take this chill quiz to find out your style!

When a heated debate breaks out among friends on where to eat, what do you do?

I step in with a system to rate everyone's preferences and find the best compromise.

I hang back and go with the flow, even if it's not my first choice.

I make a strong case for the place I want to go to, because it's clearly the best option.

I try to understand everyone's choices and steer the group to a decision that relieves tension.

You've been assigned a group project that isn't coming together. What's your move?

I organize a meeting to outline tasks and get us on track.

I don't stress it. I'll do my part and hope it all works out in the end.

I take charge and push the group to follow my lead – we're going to ace this!

I start a dialogue to make sure everyone's voice is heard and help mediate differences.

You're in charge of planning an outing, but you forgot to book in advance. The desired venue is full. What's your reaction?

No problem! I hit the internet to find an even better last-minute alternative.

I kind of just hope someone else will figure it out.

I convince the venue to make an exception. A 'no' is just the first step to a 'yes'.

I apologize to the group and suggest we discuss and vote on other fun options.

Your Wi-Fi goes out right before an important online meeting. How do you handle it?

I troubleshoot the router and if that fails, I quickly find an alternative location with Wi-Fi.

I panic silently and hope it comes back on. If not, I'll just explain later.

I call the internet company and demand immediate action. Time is money!

I send a heads-up message to the participants and look for a workaround to minimize disruption.

You and your roommate disagree on chores. How do you plan to resolve the situation?

Let's make a fair chore wheel or schedule, so everything's divided evenly.

I'll just do the extra work sometimes. It's not worth the argument.

I stand my ground. If I did my part, I'm not budging – they need to do theirs.

I initiate a calm conversation where we can each express our feelings and find an agreeable routine.
