*I am comfortable working on several overlapping long tasks within a short period of time.
*You have completed your research. It is time to write a report, which you anticipate will be about 30 pages long. How long will it take you to write the report (state in hours)?
*How many non-fiction books have you read in the last six months?
*You are going to a mill for an intensive period of work (it is their annual shutdown and your work can only be done during the shutdown). You have three choices of hotels: (1) a no-name hotel two miles down the road, next to a local eatery, (2) a Ritz-Carlton hotel at a resort seven miles away, (3) a Hampton Inn about 10 miles away.

*You completed an assignment several weeks ago and you know the client is implementing your conclusions. As you sit in your office in an idle moment, you pick up the report you had done for the client (after all, you were very proud of it). You casually look at some of the calculations and, alarmingly, discover you made a serious mistake which will eventually cost the client hundreds of thousands of dollars.

*Just taking this test has opened my eyes to the life of the consultant.
