I am most comfortable when there is structure and order.

I tend to suspect the worst in others.

You discover that a new Manager extended a verbal job offer to a candidate without involving HR or following the company’s established hiring process. No background check was initiated, the compensation offered was outside the approved salary band, and there’s no signed requisition on file. When you raise the issue, the Manager brushes it off, saying, “We needed someone fast—I’ll deal with the paperwork later. This one will be on me and I’ll make sure it all gets straightened out.” What should you do?

You receive a call from the General Manager of a division: several ICE agents have shown up unexpectedly and are requesting access to employee records and work areas. They have not provided a warrant or subpoena, but they are insisting on speaking with Supervisors and reviewing documents. Employees are starting to panic, and leadership is unsure how to proceed. What would you do?

I believe that people are not to be trusted.

I try to surpass coworkers’ accomplishments.

I often doubt myself and my abilities at work.

I can easily see how concepts fit together.

Most people will cheat you if they think they can get away with it.

When faced with a tough problem, I prefer to work through it on my own before getting input from others.
