The situations are based on actual case studies from a well-known educational institution and represent a cross section of test data correlated to evaluate both reaction and time to difficult situations and the soundness of each decision selected. There are several multiple choice questions. Read each question thorough- ly. Place an "X" by the answer you feel is most correctly justified by circumstances given. Be prepared to justify your decision (there are no definitive answers). The correctness of your answers will solely be judged upon your ability to justify them. You have 3 minutes. Do not continue with this test until told to do so. (Do so!) 1. You have prepared a proposal for the regional director of purchasing for your largest customer. The success of this presentation will mean increasing your sales to his company by 200%. In the middle of your proposal the customer leans over to look at your report and spits into your coffee. You: (A) Tell him you prefer your coffee black. (B) Ask to have him checked for any communicable diseases. (C) Take a leak in his "out" basket. 2. You are having lunch with a prospective customer talking about what could be your biggest sale of the year. During the conversation a blonde walks in the restaurant and she is so stunning that you draw your companion's attention to her and give a vivid description of what you would do if you had her alone in your motel room. She walks over to your table and introduces herself as your client's daughter. Your next move is to: (A) Ask for her hand in marriage. (B) Pretend you've forgotten how to speak English. (C) Repeat the conversation to the daughter and hope for the best. 3. You've just spent the evening with a supplier who invited you to an all night boiler-maker drinking party. You get home just in time to go to work. You stagger to the men's room and spend the next half hour vomiting. As you're washing up in the sink, the sales training director walks up, blows his cigar in your face, and asks you to join him for drinks after work. You: (A) Look him straight in the eye and launch one last convulsion at the front of his Hart Shaffner & Marx suit. (B) Nail him right in the crotch, banking of the fact that he'll never recognize your green face. (C) Grasp his hand and pump it until he p's his pants. 4. You are at dinner with a customer and his wife, who looks like the regional runner-up of the Marjorie Main look-a-like contest. Halfway through dinner you feel a hand on your lap. Being resourceful you: (A) Accidentally spill hot coffee in your lap. (B) Slip a note to the waiter to have your customer paged and see if the hand goes away when he does. (C) Excuse yourself and go to the men's room. If he follows, don't come out until your shorts rot. 5. You've just returned from a trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin, in January and tell your boss that nobody but whores and football players live there. He mentions that his wife is from Green Bay. You: (A) Ask what position she played. (B) Ask if she's still working the streets. (C) Pretend you're suffering from amnesia and don't remember your name.
