Your out-of-work best mate is desperate for a job and has asked you to keep an eye open for opportunities. On the grapevine, you hear about a position that would be ideal for her - in fact it's so well paid you quite fancy going for it yourself. Do you:
Immediately tell her about the job and decide not to go up against her in competition - she needs it more than you.
Tell her about it, but apply too - may the best woman win.
Keep it to yourself and secretly apply: she'd be too much like competition.

At a relaxed dinner party, you play a game of poker, and you accidentally glimpse one of the other guest's hands. Do you:
Admit what you saw and suggest a reshuffle and redeal.
Try to put it out of your mind and not use it against them.
Gleefully use the information to help you win - who will know, anyway?

You find out that a colleague has been lying about an illness to skive off work. You like him, but he's one rung up the ladder from you and it wouldn't hurt to weaken his position. Do you:
Keep quiet - you're no snitch, and you wouldn't like to rock the boat.
Tell him you're aware of his deception, but promise not to tell the boss: maybe he'll think twice about doing it again.
Tell the boss: he's done wrong, after all, and they need to have reliable employees, like - for example - you...

Your friend has a gorgeous new bloke and you're jealous: he'd be your perfect guy. On a night out, he starts flirting with you behind her back, and makes it clear he's interested. Do you:
Tell him to get lost, and warn her that he might be the unfaithful type.
Flirt back, but draw the line at actually doing anything: she's your friend, after all.
Go for it - he's your ideal man, and if he's flirting with you, he can't be that keen on her, can he?

You're headhunted for an amazing job: it's more money, more senior and with the opportunity to rise up the ladder. Only snag is it's abroad, and miles from your friends and family. Do you:
Turn it down - people make you happy, not money, and you've got a great social life worth keeping.
Go out there for an interview, dream about how you'd spend the extra money, but ultimately turn it down: it's too much of a risk.
Take it: jobs like this don't come along very often, and people can always come and visit you.
