Example Questions From the Test

• 1A recurring event is always scheduled on dates that prevent some community members from attending. What response is closest to yours?
  • Keep the established date because changing a recurring event can disrupt many attendees.
  • Acknowledge the conflict and encourage affected members to suggest an alternative activity.
  • Offer remote or asynchronous participation while retaining the usual date.
  • Consult affected members, review future dates, and combine scheduling changes with participation alternatives where needed.
• 2A colleague follows a workplace custom that feels unfamiliar to you. What is closest to your first response?
  • I note that it differs from what normally works for me and continue with my task.
  • I compare it with my own usual customs before deciding what I think of it.
  • I ask someone familiar with the setting whether there is context I may be missing.
  • I hold off judging it, consider several possible meanings, and learn more if it affects our work.
• 3At a social gathering, someone makes a joke based on a cultural stereotype. No one openly objects. What do you do?
  • Let the moment pass because challenging it could create tension for the group.
  • Do not join in, and check privately with someone affected if that feels appropriate.
  • Redirect the conversation without commenting on the stereotype itself.
  • Briefly question the stereotype without demanding a response from anyone targeted, then follow their lead about further discussion.
