SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Example Questions From the Test
You will be presented with 18 statements describing behavior in various life situations, along with response options for each statement. For each set of options, rate the extent to which each option reflects your views and/or behavior. First, select the option that fits you best, and then select the option that fits you least. Although it is technically possible to select the same option as both the most and the least fitting, this should not be done, as it will distort the results.
