: What thoughts would cross your mind in the following situations? What would you do or say? Are you uncomfortable? If so, why? Assume you are not rushed:

: 1. You stop by a book store to order a book a friend recommended for your newphew's birthday. The store is almost empty. You approach the clerk at the counter. He is about 20, fair-skinned, wearing glasses, and roughly 20 pounds overwieght. He is wearing a bright tie-dye shirt, pink paint in his hair, and necklace with the kind of stick cross seen in the ads for The Blair Witch Project. He looks up the book on the computer and takes down your name and address for notification. He keeps his eyes and voice low.

i'd could be like, "oh, wait a minute. i gave you my old address. let me give you my new one." then i'd make one up.

: 2. While walking across a busy college plaza on a sunny day, two girls, one black about 12 and one white about 9, approach you asking for a quarter. Nothing is remarkable about their appearance, speech, or dress. There are no obvious parents or campus authorities nearby.

i'd ask if they were ok. i'd make sure they were alright. if not, i'd help find watever they need.

: Maybe it is unrealistic to categorize personalities based on attraction to categories of words in questionaires. Maybe we could gain more insights about personality by hearing their reactions to hypothetical situations.
