1. You're walking along the streets when you see a wheelchair-bound man trying to manoeuvre his way up a pavement. You:

rush up to give him a hand

wait for someone else to offer help first before joining in.

     It's less embarrassing this way

go on your way. Someone else will come along to help

2. In biology class, you:

dread performing dissections and messing around with animal/

     insert parts. They're gross!

do your experiments by the book. You need those marks to pass!

demonstrate immense curiosity in how things work by every cavity, organ,

     limb etc, great detail.

3. You think doctors have to be:

smart and articulate - for people to look up to

emotionally strong and - to handle sickness sadness all day long

compassionate and calm - to give confidence and security to patients

4.When you come home after a long and difficult day at school, you:

go straight to bed to your energy; tomorrow's a brand new day

cross out another day till your next holiday

sigh and complain to your friends/ parents/ soft toy/ pet

5. Your pet dog or cat has been diagnosed with a rare disease and you're told that it has a slim chance of survival. You:

try to find out all you can about the disease from various in the hope

     of finding a cure for it

do nothing since the vet has already told you that there is cure

take extra care of your pet and start making arrangements for burial

6.Your average work day should:

end by 5pm everyday with lots of free time in between

be packed with difficult challenging cases which require you to do lots of

     study research, and talk to other professionals.

     It doesn't matter what time you get home

involve you helping people your skills and knowledge and at the same

     time allow you to get home at a reasonable hour

7. You are explaining a mathematical formula to your younger brother but he doesn't seem to get it. You say:

"Forget it. Maths is certainly not your strong point."

"I'll explain the formula to you one more time. Pay close attention, OK?"

"Don't give up. I'll make sure you get it right and I don't mind spending the

     entire day on this with you"

8.When it comes to the subjects of biology, chemistry and physics:

you thrive in their varied complexities - each is a different kind of

     science and interesting in its own way

you prefer biology. You can tolerate chemistry but you simply cannot

     handle physics

you love the challenge of physics but you hate the smell of

     chemistry, and you find biology boring

9. In school or college, you:

have performed consistently well, topping classes and subjects on

     and off

used to slack, but have bucked up in your final year

think that there's still time yet: you will show them your mettle come

     final semester

10.When you are 50 years old, you see yourself:

happily retired, a millionaire

on top of the corporate ladder, sipping champagne

going for courses for professional development, attending

     conferences, preparing papers to be presented, and reading

     to keep up with new technology

11. You're walking on the beach during a holiday. You see a long line of mini blue crabs crawling on the sand with purpose. You say to your friend who's walking with you:

"Let's follow the trail and see where they're going!"

"Be careful not to step on them. They may be poisonous."

"I wish they were bigger. Then we could barbeque them for dinner."

12.Becoming a doctor has always been your ambition:

so you study really hard and consistently in order to get a place in

     the university of your choice or a scholarship to study abroad

but you're prepared to give it up if you don't get a place or the

     financial support you need

but you're willing to consider other health-related courses if you

     don't get a place in medical school or the financial support
