· Can you take a reprimand without blowing up?
· Can you take a turndown without becoming discouraged?
· Can you laugh with others when the joke is on you?
· Can you keep your spirits up when things go wrong?
· Can you keep your cool in emergencies?
I like those questions and they are helpful. You still need to know yourself well enough to answer them or find someone who knows you well to answer them with you.
