Directions: As before, your responses need to paint a picture for readers who will not know anything about you other than your given personality type. Be as clear and detailed as possible to allow him/her to see the situation from your perspective. Imagine yourself in the scenario below and respond to the following prompts: (1) What is your immediate emotional response? Explain why you imagine that you would respond in the manner you described. (2) Map out your thought process. What are your initial thoughts and where do they go from there? (3) How do you react to those around you in the immediate situation? (4) How does this situation impact you? Scenario #3 You made it to your Wednesday class right on time, only to notice that your professor was not there. Not all the other students had arrived yet, but the ones that were there were becoming visibly agitated. After ten minutes, the professor finally shows us, looking sick and seems distracted. Your study partner who was running late rushes in and sits down beside you and says, "Remember Megan? She was that one girl last semester that was really weird and never wanted to work with us." You laugh and say, "She had issues. What's up?" Your partner continues on, "I overheard one of the other professors telling Dr. W that Megan killed herself last night. I guess she took pills or something. Isn't that crazy!? I always knew she had problems, but I didn't think she would stoop so low and do something like that just to get attention." Your partner rolls her eyes and looks up front. Dr. W was looking straight at both of you and says, Megan was my God Daughter.

Explanation / Answer

I was shocked to hear that she tried to commit suicide and I was also shocked where my study partner was getting to. I didn’t want to believe what my partner was guessing because no one commits suicide just to get attention. I only felt sorry for Megan for her low self-esteem. People may have problems but ending life won’t solve any problems except bringing more problems to those related to them. I would say that assuming things will only hurt people around us.

I too sometimes brand people with my immediate reactions before assessing and analyzing what had really happened and what had they gone through in acting that way. When I come to know that I was wrong in judging that person, I feel really sorry and think how much my action might have hurt that person.
