You’ve just been offered a promotion at work. What’s your first thought?

How will this help me reach my potential?

I need to think about what’s best for me and for others

Will this job allow me to maintain a peaceful and happy life?

Is this the right thing to do ethically — how can I use the situation to benefit the greater good?

You booked a Christmas Day flight to be with your family, but after arriving at the airport, you get the message that the flight is canceled due to severe weather conditions. How do you feel about it?

I would ask myself if there’s anything I could have done differently to avoid the situation

I would brush it off — it's not a biggie. What matters is that I’m safe

I would realize that the situation doesn’t change my sense of duty toward family commitments

I would find ways to be closer to them, like FaceTime often throughout the day

A friend is going through a tough time. What do you do?

Try to sympathize with their feelings as a support

Create a peaceful environment for them to feel safe

Support them in discovering their inner strength to overcome it

You meet a new group — they are fun for social gatherings, but you don’t really resonate with their values. How do you handle the situation?

I’ll ask questions to better understand their opinions

I stick to my values - so I can go out with them, but I won't get involved in deeper topics

I’ll assess if their values can coexist with my ethical principles - if so, I’ll give it a try, if not, it’s bye-bye for me

I will stay in the group - however, if they interfere with my happiness, I’m out

You are in a supermarket and you notice the person in front of you needs 20 cents to complete their purchase. What action do you take?

I’ll do my best for them not to feel judged by me

I’ll help them because it’s the right thing to do

I may give them an encouraging word like “Everything will get better, trust yourself”

I’ll ask them if they want me to cover the 20 cents

You have a new colleague at work and you sense a competitive environment. What do you do?

I’m ready to prove my value and rise above them

I focus on doing my work right - that’s my priority no matter the environment

I’ll strike up a conversation to draw insight from their workflow

I keep doing my own thing and don’t indulge in any type of negative environment

You have a day off — what is most likely to happen?

I dedicate hours to self-improvement - I love to push my limits

I go to the park with my friends

I do voluntary work or help someone in need

I try to strike up conversations with loved ones or even strangers — this gives me pure fulfillment

This weekend, your family's coming to town. But your friend, who lives overseas, is also having their birthday, and this is your only chance to see them this year. What's your plan?

I’ll explain the decision to my family and make sure they understand that going to the birthday party is important to me

Both my family and my friends are important connections in my life — I’ll spend some time with my family first and then I’ll attend my friend’s celebration

I’ll talk with both my family and my friends to find a balance between both commitments

I’ll try to find a way to see my friends without sacrificing too much time with my family

A colleague offers you a shortcut to secure a promotion, but the method involves bending some rules and compromising your ethical standards. How would you act?

I consider how me saying “yes” would affect my peace of mind

I reject it right away — that’s unethical

I believe in success through merit – I don’t blink, I reject the offer right away

I discuss it with my partner, family, and friends — I want to have more than only my angle on this

You’ve found your dream house in another city, but you love the calm and community of your current home — just not the house itself. What do you do?

I embrace change and move — growth comes from forging my own path

I reflect deeply, question what truly makes a home, and check in with my friends and family for their opinions

I first consider my responsibilities and how my move would affect others — only then would I make a decision

I stay where I am — happiness for me comes from a peaceful, familiar life, not just a house

You just told your whole family you are going to travel the world for one year. One of your family members is being super critical. How do you handle it?

I open space for discussion — I ask them why they feel that way and try to understand their concerns

I stand my ground — this is my journey both in travel and in life

I consider their perspective and if my idea aligns with my responsibilities — only then do I make a decision

I reassure them, but I don’t let negativity in — I want this journey to be filled with joyful moments

You are going through a stressful period of your life: how do you handle it?

I take the time to reflect on the situation, analyze it deeply, and seek understanding within myself and in conversations with others

I disengage from the stress and focus on simple pleasures, and with that, I bring myself back to the joyful moment

I push through and use the struggle to become stronger — challenges make me who I am

I do what needs to be done, I live my life normally — no matter how I’m feeling

You’ve met “your person”. Out of these characteristics, which one is the most important to you?

No matter what, we both look for meaningful moments of pure enjoyment, peace, and trust

We are both independent and self-confident — we come together with our individual stories to tell

We both love to discuss and get deep about (almost) everything

We both need to have integrity as our base — no matter what we need to do, what’s morally right for the other person

You were invited to a dinner party, but you are not sure about going. What do you do?

I consider my commitments for that day and the next one — only then do I decide

I go — every new experience makes me grow

If it sounds enjoyable and stress-free, I’ll go; if not, I'd rather stay at home

I weigh all the pros and cons before deciding

You accidentally sent a voice message ranting about your boss…directly to your boss. What do you do?

Own it confidently — it’s my honest opinion that if they can’t handle the truth, that’s not my problem

I would apologize sincerely and explain how I expressed my emotions in a moment of stress

Try to turn it into a philosophical discussion about leadership and criticism

Laugh it off – I would send another message right away saying I was kidding and would even invite them for a drink

Unleash The Philosopher Within You: 15 Questions To Break Down Your Philosophical Views

How many times have you found yourself facing a dilemma in your life that put everything into question, from duty and desire to needs?

Sometimes, we don’t even understand ourselves, as we never know what each situation will bring. Some may say it’s confusing, but we believe we are the philosophers of our time – and for those, there are no limits on how to think, feel, and behave.

And so, we are challenging you to do the following:

Take the quiz based on how you feel or would behave as of today.
Redo it based on how you would ideally behave.
Share with us if it remains the same or if it changes.

These questions were missing a lot of potential answers, and the answers offered were often rephrased versions of the same sentiment.

For #1, my first thought was "Great! More money!", however this didn't seem to be a listed option. Is there no philosopher who thinks like that?

Exactly, and for the flight canceled because of the severe weather my first thought would be to curse out the weather and then myself for booking the flight so late. Both of which are common responses and were missing
