After everyone makes it through the first time, turn the cards over to show what's below. Then read this, "Now, I want you to answer what you think is the better thing to do."

|
You get home from school and notice the laundry is piled up. Do you load some of it into the laundry machine?
|
NO
|
By saying no, and ignoring the load, you are acting as a Quiet Submissive. Entering the living room you notice the couch pillows on the floor. Sigh! Do you pick them up and put them on the couch?
|
NO
|
An involver would have picked up the pillows. Do you take a moment and chill on the couch?
|
YES
|
It's okay to take a break, but if there's work to do, it's best to finish that first. Dinner is almost ready. Your mom asks you to set the table. Do you help her set the table?
|
YES
|
This is exactly what an Involver would do. After dinner, you help clear and wash the dishes. Then hang out with your family and talk or play a game.
|
YES
|
|
YES
|
|
NO

|
|
NO
|
|
|
By saying yes, you are acting as an Involver. Entering the living room, you notice the couch pillows on the floor. Do you pick them up and put them on the couch?
|
YES
|
Because you said yes, this shows you're being an Involver. Do you take a moment and chill on the couch?
|
NO
|
There's nothing wrong with taking a break, but if there are things to do, it's best to finish those first before someone asks you. Do you grab a book, take a seat and read it?
|
YES
|
Reading is great, so long as its part of your homework or your homework is finished. Dinner is almost ready. Your mom asks you to set the table. Do you help her set the table?
|
NO
|
An Aggressive person isn't obedient to his or her parents. An involver would have helped set the table. At this point you head to your room and shut your door for the night.
|
NO
|
YES
|
YES
|
YES
|
NO
|
NO
|
|
YES
|
|
|
By ignoring the pillows, you're acting as a quiet submissive. You enter the restroom to wash your hands. You notice the toilet paper is almost out. Do you change the roll?
|
NO
|
By not changing the toilet paper roll, you're being a quiet submissive. Do you go and start on your homework?
|
NO
|
That's what a quiet submissive would do. Chilling on the couch gives you a break, but all types need a break some time. Reading is good too, so long as your homework is finished or a part of your homework. Do you check in with your friends online or send a snap?
|
YES
|
It's great to stay connected, but keep in mind that social media should enhance the relationships you have in person, not replace them. Dinner is almost ready. Your mom asks you to set the table. Do you help her set the table?
|
YES
|
This is exactly what an Involver would do. Because you've been so helpful lately, your homework is done, and you've had a great attitude, your Dad is taking the whole family on a trip to Key West.
