Brief Questionnaire to Assess Compatibility
With Worldview Theme #3

Respond to each of the following below on a 1 to 5 scale, where
     1= strongly disagree      2 = disagree      3 = neutral      4 = agree      5 = strongly agree
If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

Note: An * in front of the question indicates that this has been used in national public opinion surveys. 

1. I am often very busy and it seems like someone or something is constantly requiring my attention. During these times, often “The squeaky wheel gets the grease!” so to speak.  

2. I am typically so caught up in my daily activities that I seldom if ever think about or plan for what I’ll be doing years from now.

3. The admonition to think globally but act locally is one I have difficulty relating to.

*4. I am very interested in politics. 

5. I tend to be more of a “big thinker” and get more excited about grand schemes, all encompassing concepts, ideas, or systems. As such, I try to avoid getting bogged down in small details, preferring instead to let others worry about getting the details right.

6. I often get obsessively pre-occupied, with my own pursuits, problems or people in my life, to the extent that I lose touch with what’s happening in the wider world around me.

*7. I'd say that I worry about little things at least sometime every day.

*8. My hobbies and the recreational activities I like pursuing have an extremely important place in my life.

9. Given the way the world has changed, I don’t see much value in studying what happened long ago.

*10. I often notice that I serve as a model for others.

*11. Some might consider me a “workaholic”. In estimating how many hours I spend per week at my job or occupation -- and that includes keeping house or going to school, as well as working for pay or profit, and time spent traveling to job or school -- I’d say that that number of hours per week is 50 or more.

*12. Some might consider me “obsessed with work”. In estimating how many hours I spend per week at my job or occupation -- and that includes keeping house or going to school, as well as working for pay or profit, and time spent traveling to job or school -- I’d say that that number of hours per week is 80 or more.

13. Often I pay more attention to lower level, immediate details rather than to higher level (or long term) relationships or goals.
