The stolen credit
A coworker presents your idea as their own in a meeting. The room likes it.
Do you correct them in front of everyone, or talk to them afterward?
Most personality tests ask what you're like. These seven situations ask what you would actually do. There's no correct answer, only the one you lean toward, and it says something about how you think.

Do you honor the expectation, or choose your own path?
A friend shows you something they made and they're clearly proud of it, but it isn't good.
Do you tell them honestly, or stay kind?
You find a wallet with cash in it and no ID.
Do you hand it in, try to find the owner yourself, or leave it where it is?
Someone you trusted broke that trust once and says it won't happen again.
Do you give them another chance?
People who lean toward directness tend to value honesty over comfort. People who lean toward kindness tend to value harmony. Neither is better, and most of us switch depending on who is involved and what is at stake.
That switching is exactly what ThinkAlike's stories explore. A one-line question is easy to answer in theory. A story that puts you inside the moment, with consequences, is harder, and more revealing.
