So here is a hypothetical situation for you: you show up to the indoor track at the local gym, and you notice the sign about “track etiquette” posted on the wall. On odd-numbered days, runners are to run counter-clockwise around the track. On even-numbered days, runners are to run clockwise around the track. There is only one other person running at the moment- counter-clockwise. You quickly remember that today is an even-numbered day, so today is “clockwise” day. You decide that you will:
A. Kindly but boldly proclaim to the man that he’s running the wrong way, thus setting him straight and keeping you from having to make the same horrid mistake to avoid a head-on collision.
B. Don’t say anything, but do the right thing by running clockwise like the sign says. Head-on collision and strange looks might occur, but you’d rather do the right thing yourself, even if other people don’t care.
C. Run counter-clockwise also, only because it’s not a big deal. It’s just running around a track. Chill out already. Poor etiquette ≠ a warrant for your arrest.
D. Run counter-clockwise because you also don’t care for anyone’s rules; did I mention that you consider yourself a rebel, and would revel in the chance to get arrested by the “track” police? What a great story!
E. Avoid having to make a decision and go find a treadmill.
How you answer this question may or may not reveal the nature of your character and/or your reasoning skills.
