1. You’re walking down the road. You see a wallet on the ground. You pick it up. It has $50 in it, as well as a license with a not too friendly looking man on it, a membership to the local porn shop, and some unpaid parking tickets. You:
-Return it. Mr. John Doe’s phone number and address is clear enough on his license. $50 isn’t worth committing a crime over.
-This guy is obviously no good. He doesn’t deserve the money, no more than I have the time to spend trying to get it back to him for being careless enough to lose it in the first place.
-Report the parking tickets to the local police, and leave the wallet there for Mr. Doe to pick up, and be on your merry way.
-Mail the wallet back to the guy, keep the money and spend it on a party for all your friends at your expense.
2. You-know-who is about to take over the world. The only way to stop him is if you or your best friend dies. What do you do? What DO you do!?
-Immediately leap in front of your friend to take the blow first. You’d do anything to save him/her and the world we live in.
-Stubbornly fight until the end, never giving up until the last minute and then finally die in place of your
-When your friend offers to die for the cause, you cry for them, get really upset, and yell something along the lines of, “I’ll always remember that day in Paris!” but don’t exactly stop them either.
-Since you know more about the villain in question, you’re the only one who can seal the V-man after he has been defeated by the sacrifice, so therefore your friend must die for the cause, as sad as that may be….. but you WILL avenge them!
3. Your worst enemy is running around on the edge of a ship you two are sailing on alone. He’s threatening to blackmail you, teetering on the edge, when he/she falls. Your FIRST reaction is:
-Call the coast guard and throw in a lifesaver. You’re no Olympic diver! Tell him if he’s smart, he’ll rethink the blackmail if he doesn’t want everyone to laugh at him at school once you tell them how clumsy and dumb they were. You have to fight fire with fire.
-Think for a split-second, “If he dies, I wont get in trouble”, but then yell down that you’ll throw the lifesaver in if he swears not to blackmail you.
-Jump in and save him immediately. Worrying about blackmail doesn’t really come into play much when you’re faced with saving a life. You’ll deal with that later.
-Freeze in terror at the thought of someone dying in front of you, AND at the prospect at getting blackmailed. After a good long pause of being dumbfounded, finally throw a lifesaver in and hope for the best.
4. Your best friend has another friend who does something mean to them. I.E.: telling everyone a secret that was told to them in confidence, etc. Your reaction to this situation, as the close friend you are, is:
-Buy their favorite flavor of ice cream, rent their favorite movie, and cancel all your plans you already made, just to spend it with them and make them feel better.
-Think “that person is an idiot for messing with me and my friends!” and spend the next month making the person’s life hell in little ways, enough to make them sorry they did it.
-Don’t get involved directly; you don’t know both sides of the story. But lend a sympathetic ear to your friend and be extra nice that day.
-Go up to the offending party and tell them exactly what you think they did is wrong and they should apologize immediately. You got your friend’s back!
5. You know you’re cool…but now an annoyingly adoring little fan thinks so too. He follows you everywhere…ala Colin Creevy. When he’s bugging you to be his new best friend for the hundredth time today, you:
Tell him for the 75th time to go AWAY. God, doesn’t he know how catch a hint!?
Politely deal with it and plaster a smile on your face. He’s just being nice, as much as you hate to admit it.
Mumble something about being much too busy to talk today and scramble off to get your stuff done in peace.
Chat it up with them for the time being but later, laugh to all your friends about your new stalker.
6. You run into an ex-lover of yours. In the conversation, they basically let it be known to you that they want a one-time last fling with you, with no strings attached. You remember how AMAZING they were in bed. You:
Well, since they want to, and YOU always want to, why not? It’s all in good fun, no one will get hurt!
They mentioned something about a ski trip this winter, so I bet if I put out, ill get to go…plus I’ve been mad horny all week. Is there a reason NOT to?
No, I mean…without feelings it would feel so wrong, and just empty. Where’s the fun in that?
I’d like to, but even though I know there’s no feelings involved, I don’t want to risk feelings getting confused and causing problems. It’s just not worth it in the long run.
7. Hypothetically, let’s say you live under a repressive regime and belong to a pro-freedom political party that is outlawed. Someone comes up with the bright idea that you could raise funds for your party's work by collecting money for a fictitious charity for sick animals. Do you:
Are totally against it. Your cause is a good one, but lying and stealing is just not an option.
Grab a tin and get rattling as quickly as you can. The ends justify the means.
Try and explore other less deceiving alternatives with your colleagues, even if it may mean less money in the long run.
Feel uneasy about deceiving the people who are giving, but do it all the same since it’s for freedom.
8. Someone comes up to you on the street and starts hassling you for money for 'a sandwich’ or 'a coffee'. It's pretty obvious that it's really alcohol he wants the money for. You:
Do as your mood takes you, sometimes you feel like giving a few extra quarters, sometimes you apologize and decline.
Write down the number to the local shelter and give it to him, hope he uses it, and move on. You probably would have avoided him completely but he didn’t give you much choice.
Give him some spare change. You always try to help out where you can.
Honestly, like I want to give away my money, so a stranger can get wasted!? Tell him to get a job.
9. You're walking near the Forbidden Forest when you see a creature just inside the forest. It seems to be injured. You:
Feel bad about the poor thing, but wouldn't dare enter there. It's against the rules!
Know enough about creatures to know that it doesn't need your help. You read that if the smell of a human gets on a magical beast, the rest of its kind will reject it.
Think, “Like I’m EVEN going to get killed for a random beast that will probably kill me if it got the chance. I’m late to meet someone anyway, so ill just mention it to Hagrid later.”
Go in the forest to see if you can help it. So what if it's forbidden?
10. You hear a story about a kid who is getting the death penalty for killing his parents. He claims his parents abused him and drove him to it so it’s not his fault and he should get off. Your opinion of the matter is:
That’s horrible! I mean, what he did is wrong, but I can’t believe his parents would do something so awful. It’s not fair!
I am so sick of hearing people blame the fact they’re crazy on their parents. Parents can be bad. That doesn’t mean you get to stab them in the face repeatedly. If you can’t cope with the world and all its suckiness, then get out.
Well, that’s a pity that it happened, but a law’s a law. You can’t kill people without facing the penalties.
Aww, that’s so sad!! I bet he didn’t have any friends to help him through his hard time. That’s just terrible.
11. Choose the group of words that best describe you, being both good and bad qualities:
Smart, quiet, rational, but can be too cold or distanced from others at
Brutally honest, determined, but can sometimes be mean, and motives are often selfish
Headstrong, Daring, a good person most the time, but sometimes rash and hot headed.
Fun-loving, Care-free, and a good friend, always tries hard, but may not be the brightest bulb.
Just for my own interest:
What House do you WANT to be in? Hmmm... I'm not fussed. But either Slytherin or Ravenclaw if I had to pick.
What house would you HATE to be in? I dislike Hufflepuff most, but if I got I think I'd deal.
*Crosses fingers for a cool house*
