Assessment

Answer these prompts with real judgment, practical thinking, and honesty.

Write every answer yourself. We want to understand how you think, communicate, and respond under pressure, not how well a tool can answer for you.

1. You arrive on Saturday morning and discover the team has many ideas but no clear direction. In 30 minutes, what steps would you take to help the team move forward? * 2. It is 4 hours to the final presentation. One key part of the project is not working, tensions are rising, and two teammates disagree on what to do next. What would you do? * 3. What is one weakness or limitation you may bring into Build Weekend, and how would you manage it responsibly? *
