A bookish, prudish older man pays a visit to your home and makes pedantic comments throughout dinner. How do you react?

He seems so wise... perhaps, through him, I will attain the greater things in life.
He seems to be a complete dullard, but let's find out more about his relatives and any sordid secrets he might be hiding...
Ewww... I hate the smell of old men. I need more perfume straightaway!
I see right through him... he's rather narrow-minded and self-absorbed.

Who would make a good husband?

Someone loyal and kind-hearted, who is willing to work on his imperfections.
Someone handsome, who will be turned to putty by a pretty face.
Someone good-natured who will never interrupt me or try to curb my often blunt opinions.
Someone in tune with life's finer feelings and deep wisdom.

Your husband informs you that one of his distant, wealthy relatives is coming to visit. What is your first thought?

Really? How wonderful! I must look as pretty as possible and buy new furniture for the drawing room.
I will encourage him to donate money to build houses for the poor.
Hmmm... I wonder if he has any amusing quirks or vanities that I can laugh at.
Excellent. I thrive on exalted company.

You are stuck in an unhappy marriage. What do you do?

Do not give your husband the things he wants until he commits himself to change.
Weep, sulk, pout... then go behind your husband's back to get what you want.
Fling sharp insults at your husband and drive him out of his mind by talking continuously.
Suffer quietly and feel bad for your husband - he too is suffering under the burden of his faults.

5

You pass by a very poor village. What are your thoughts?

Oh, everything's so ugly here... what a horrid thing, to be ugly and poor.
Hopefully some of these people will be able to work themselves out of their poverty... perhaps my father can help them too.
I have some wonderful designs for houses that might be built for them. I shall find a way to have them constructed.
I'll toss them a scrap or two, but really, I can't stay long - I have a dinner engagement.

7

What would be an ideal way to spend the afternoon?

Gossiping with wealthy matrons and freely dispensing my advice
Brushing out my hair and playing the piano
Riding on my horse and visiting the poor
Reading a book and helping my father and mother with their chores

8

What is your weakness?

I am not wealthy enough!
I don't always understand myself... and in the past I have repressed or denied my natural passions.
Pardon me, what did you say? I was not quite finished talking.
My quick tongue sometimes hurts people.

9

You are visiting Rome for the first time. What are your impressions?

Oh, Mrs. So-and-So! Fancy running into you here! How is it that I had no idea that you'd be at Rome?
Some fine architecture here... my father would find it interesting.
So much gaudy art, so much money wasted on decadence... and so many people in the world are suffering!
The ruins are a bit of a yawn... will there be a ball or a gala any time soon?
