Take the Hack Your First Impression Quiz

#1. What are the benefits of listening?

If you don't learn how to listen to others, the others will listen to what you have to say as well, they will respect you because you show respect to them by listening.

By being a poor listener, you can learn more about the people you talk to, you can make new friends and have a better life, both personal and professional

By becoming a good listener you could even improve existent relationships.

Having poor listening skills will help you improve conversation skills.

I’m afraid this is not the right answer.

#2. Which answer provides the best strategy to beat confirmation bias?

Could the diagnosis be overly influenced by an analogy to a memorable success? And ask for more analogies, and rigorously analyze their similarity to the current situation.

If you had to make this decision again in a year’s time, what information would you want, and can you get more of it now?

Are credible alternatives included along with the recommendation? And request additional options.

Were there dissenting opinions within the team? Were they explored adequately? Solicit dissenting views, discreetly if necessary?

Is the team assuming that a person, organization, or approach that is successful in one area will be just as successful in another? Eliminate false inferences, and ask the team to seek additional comparable examples.

Are the recommenders overly attached to a history of past decisions? Consider the issue as if you were a new CEO

Is the base case overly optimistic? Have the team build a case taking an outside view; use war games.

Is the worst case bad enough? Have the team conduct a premortem: Imagine that the worst has happened, and develop a story about the causes.

Is the recommending team overly cautious? Realign incentives to share responsibility for the risk or to remove risk.

I’m afraid this is not the right answer.

Good news: you qualify for this course! You’ll never get a second chance to ace the first impression!
The other answers beat other biases such as: Saliency Bias, Anchoring Bias, Endowment Effect, Loss aversion, etc.

#3. What is the impact of learning and using jargon when you are trying to create rapport?

Using jargon to laymen will actually hamper creating rapport.

Rapport will follow easier / sooner than without 'that special' connection. This recommended provided that you know your audience and “speak the same language”.

Learning jargon costs lots of time and is therefore a waste of time.

It enables you to show off and thus making a favourable impression

I’m afraid this is not the right answer.

Good news: you qualify for this course! You’ll never get a second chance to ace the first impression! Creating rapport is one of the most important elements of hacking the first impression.

#4. What does the equity theory mean in relation to hacking the first impression?

There is no relation. The course creator is just trying to fill space and time of the student and by doing so proclaiming to deliver value!

It means both conversationalists are to gain equally from the conversation.

Equity basically means a stock option, which is weird because we didn't talk about bond or commodities.

This is one of those trick questions. Theory and practice match, thus equity theory has no impact on the first impression.

Equal time in spending on the same studies

I’m afraid this is not the right answer.

Good news: you qualify for this course! Hacking the first impression means you use every tool in your tool box to make a favourable first impression.

#5. What is the difference between verbal and non-verbal communication?

Verbal communication focuses on body language and non-verbal communication on spoken words.

Verbal communication is about using different technologies to make a lasting impression. Non verbal communication is communication without sophisticated technologies.

Non-verbal communication focuses on body language and verbal communication on spoken words.

This is a trick question, there is no difference.

I’m afraid this is not the right answer.
