Bulldog or Wallflower: How Confident Are You?

1. If you were going to a party and you didn’t know anyone there, how would you feel? *

I’d introduce myself to people who look interesting and have a good time.

I’d be nervous at first, but then try to meet some people. Who knows, I might make a new friend.

I’d stay for a little while, but then leave.

If I knew that I didn’t know anyone at the party, I wouldn’t go.

2. If you woke up with a huge pimple on your face and were going on a first date with someone you really like, what would you do *

I’d laugh about it and tell my date that I don’t always look this hideous.

I’d feel embarrassed and try to cover it up.

I’d feel mortified and very self-conscious the whole time.

I’d cancel the date.

3. If you went out with someone and had a great time and they didn’t call you back, what would you do? *

I’d think that it’s their loss.

I’d be a little upset, and realize that maybe that person didn’t feel the same way as I did or they’re just busy.

I’d be very disappointed and hurt.

I’d feel sad and think that I did something wrong.

4. If someone made fun of you because of how you looked (tall, short, fat, skinny, etc.), what would you do or feel? *

I’d say something back that would put them in their place.

I’d get irritated, but I wouldn’t stoop to their level. I would know that they’re probably picking on me because they’re insecure and just want to pick a fight.

I’d feel hurt and become more self-conscious.

I’d cry and wish that I looked like everyone else.

5. If you get a bad grade on a project and you know that you did a good job, what would you do? *

I’d ask the teacher why I got the low grade and ask for a better grade – it doesn’t hurt to ask.

I’d be disappointed and try to find out how I can do better next time.

I’d be upset and keep it to myself.

I’d be angry and not want to try so hard the next time.
