(a) You let the matter drop, because you are sure he will not listen to you.

(b) This is the last arrow, and you step forward to remind him of it once more.

(c) You send him a list of the reasons that led you to raise the matter, and ask him to fix a time for it.

(d) Though you burn with anger at his slowness, you wait for the outcome.

(e) You reflect that his many affairs sometimes make him forget the requests of others.

5 — You make a slight mistake, and you are dismissed from your job. You are at fault, yes, but he 'builds a dome upon a grain of wheat.' So you say:

(a) 'I admit my mistake — but have you not magnified the affair, sir?'

(b) 'Yes — even I make mis-takes sometimes.'

(c) 'I am sorry; it will not happen again.'

(d) 'Gently, sir, or you will be sorry.'

(e) You wish the earth would split open and swallow you.

6 — You argue with your boss over some matter, and he tries to end the argument by saying that he, as your boss, has no hand above his in his field of work, and that his opinion always prevails; so you say to him:

(a) 'My opinion is as good as yours.'

(b) 'I am sure of my reasons before I rush to support my proposal.'

(c) 'Within the scope of our discus-sion, I insist that I have an opinion just like the rest of my colleagues.'

(d) 'I think you are right,' because

(e) You pretend to him that you accept.

7 — Your employer is promoted, and you think:

(a) 'If I were head of this company, I would have striven to raise it higher.'

(b) 'It amazes me how some people advance with such long strides.'

(c) 'Luck comes to those who do not care.'

(d) 'Will fate favor me so that I step into his old position?'

(e) 'He has the qualifications for advancement, or he would not

have been promoted.'
