Factoids & Funnies A quick 20 Questions This section starts with a questionnaire that has been adapted from the work of psychologist Eric Berne. Like a lot of the exercises in 'Get Confident', it needs to be filled in before you know what it is for. This is to make sure your answers are spontaneous and not influenced by what you think is expected of you. Some of the questions may seem difficult to answer in such a simplistic way. Don't think about the answers for too long. Simply give the answer that seems to be most true to you. This questionnaire has 60 questions and it will take you around 10 minutes to complete. Please remember if you leave this exercise before you complete it your answers will not be stored. If you do not wish to do this exercise, click here.
