Question

    How do you typically react when someone disagrees with you?

    A Listen and try to understand their perspective Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Avoid the disagreement altogether Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Insist that your opinion is the correct one Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Get defensive and argue your point Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    When someone disagrees with you, the best way to handle the situation is to listen and try to understand their perspective. Option a) is the correct answer. This approach can help you learn from their perspective and may lead to a more productive conversation. Getting defensive and arguing your point (option b) often leads to an unproductive argument. Avoiding the disagreement altogether (option c) does not address the issue at hand and may cause the problem to persist. Insisting that your opinion is the correct one (option d) can be counterproductive and can make it difficult to find common ground.
