If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

1. Given my lofty ideals and the purity of my beliefs, I like to think of myself as devoted to noble causes.  

2. I will persistently and courageously defend my beliefs when they are attacked by others. I sometimes see those who attack them as enemies who are attacking me.

*4. To build good human relationships, it is more important to understand others’ preferences, rather than to express your own preferences clearly.
