1. Shelby is talking to his friend on the phone, "I'm going to fail tomorrow's test! There is no way I can get ready for this - I'm not a good test taker, the professor said it would be difficult - yikes! I'm going to bomb the test! I know I will never fall asleep - because I will be up worrying all night about it. I'll probably be too tired to take the test tomorrow - from not being able to sleep!"

2. Simbah is a young executive that is being groomed to be the next Oil King of Alaskan Oil Company - the plan is that he will take over after his mother - the Oil Queen - retires. He has worked extensively on oil rigs and regularly uses foul language. Because of this he offends people quite easily and embarrasses marketing executives working with major partners and accounts. Many worry that the company will be seen as unprofessional and will risk losing clients with SImbah as CEO. Simbah is aware of the problem, but he just can't control his language - because he had been using it for so many years. What would you advise Simbah to do if he is serious about becoming CEO of this company?

Group of answer choices

Since he needs stronger mood regulation - send him to anger management classes

Since he needs better self-awareness - hire image consultants to tell him everything he doesn't know about himself

Since he needs better interpersonal skills - send him to a series of interpersonal training programs - especially some intensive experiential ones to help him develop better conversational, articulation, and professional speaking skills

Since he lacks internal motivation - send him back to the oil rig and have him clean the bathrooms - that will "clean up" his foul mouth

Since none of the previous ones were chosen, I probably am just going to choose this answer; however, it is wrong and will be marked incorrect.

4. Tariff enters the corporate headquarters for INTELLIPRINT to interview for a new IT position, wearing Bermuda style shorts and a t-shirt that reads, "Don't hate the player, hate the game". INTELLIPRINT is a new office machine company that produces blue-tooth activated equipment. He didn't get the job because he didn't seem professional. As one of Tariff's trusted friends and fellow IT wannabe - what advice would you give him after learning about the interview?

Group of answer choices

He lacked interpersonal skills - Teach him how to communicate better

He lacked mood regulation - Teach him how to behave appropriately

He lacked self-awareness - Encourage him to research companies to learn the appropriate attire before assembling his outfit for job interviews

Buy him a beer - he just got disappointing news and could use some mojo

None of the above would work because none of them diagnose the problem accurately

5. Terrance is in the kitchen making breakfast. Terrance's son comes into the kitchen and says, "Hi Dad, are you still taking me to little league tryouts today? Oh, and I also need new cleats, and remember, I am ready to move up to the bigger bat - so we need to go and get a new one. Oh, and tryouts are in 2 hours. Terrance, responds, "OK, let's go to the Sports Authority first thing, right after breakfast - we can get you new cleats and a new bat - also I think you need to start breaking in a new glove also - so maybe we will get you a new glove while we are there. I'll be there with you all day at tryouts also - and maybe afterwards, we will go for pizza." What type of stress is Terrance experiencing and why?

Group of answer choices

Time stressor because he has so many things he has to do & didn't do many of them in advance

Encounter stressor because his son brought up so many things they have to do

Situational stressor because being a dad with a son in little league brings with it many time requirements

Anticipatory stressor because they didn't anticipate so many things would all have to be done today until they discussed it at breakfast

None of the stressors are evident. There is no stress displayed in this scenario.
