Scenario+6

This is a like a quiz without having to wait for results. Most questions have two reasonable answers. The strongest answer will take you to the 'Best' page. The good, but not great answer will take you to the 'Alright' page. The less than desirable answers will take you to the 'Nada' page. Do not be discouraged, even the best and emotionally talented leaders will not get all the questions correct.
