Grim- I concur with my Brother, these were very good questions on your part and you received some good responses. I especially like the reading assignment you received Much to learn from these and you are gaining some good SA. Post some follow-up questions.

I would like to take the first point Tsun Tzu makes - know yourself and expand on that point a bit. Think of this as a different kind of SA (Self Awareness).

What is your character? Think of situations that you have experienced and your responses to those situations. For example, let's say you were in club or society at school like, say, the Honor Society. The rules of conduct are no cheating, no alcohol, etc. Now let's say that you and several Honor Society friends are at a party and everyone is drinking beer. The parents of the friend where you had the party later learn of the party while they were gone and report this to school Principal. The Principal calls all of you to his office and asks you to step forward if you were drinking. You know that you were and you also know that you will be kicked out of the Honor Society if you admit it. None of your peers who were drinking are stepping forward. Do you? Why?

Second hypothetical: You are in the school lunchroom and some friends of yours are picking on a nerdy kid. Nothing physical, nothing direct, just jokes loud enough so he can hear. The kid is obviously embarrassed. What do you do? Why?

SF selection will reveal your character through your actions and reactions under stress. No hiding it, it will come out! Think about it and post your responses here.
