studied for. You:
a. No one at all
b. Your best friend
c. Only the person the gossip is about
d. The friends you sit with at lunch
5. Your mom tells you to take money for your lunch today from her purse. Lunch costs
P100.00, but your mom’s purse has 5 one-hundred peso bills. You would love to treat
yourself to ice cream at lunch, too. You are most likely to:
a. Take P200.00 from her purse. Ice cream only cost P50.00, and you’ll have enough left
over to buy chips, too!
b. Take P500.00 so you don’t have to ask for lunch and extra ice cream for yourself and
several friends.
c. Take P500.00 so you can buy lunch and extra ice cream for yourself and several
friends.
d. Take P100.00 and ask if you can have an extra one hundred for ice cream.
6. You got in trouble for not answering your cellphone last weekend when you were
chatting with your friends. You and your friends were just too loud and didn’t hear the
phone, but your parents freaked out anyway and took your phone away for two weeks.
This morning, your parents have left for work, and your phone is sitting on your dad’s
nightstand. You get home from school before your parents, so they’ll never know if you
take it for the day. You:
a. Take the phone and put it back in the nightstand as soon as you get home.
b. Leave the phone in the nightstand. You don’t want to make things with your parents
worse.
c. Check the phone for messages, send a few texts, then put it back in the nightstand.
d. Take the phone with you and decide you’ll hide it from them when you get home. Your
parents should not have left it out where you could get it to so easily.
7. Your parents asked you to walk the dog when you got home today. You:
a. Take the dog on a long walk so you can both get some fresh air and
exercise.
b. Let the dog run around the back yard. You’ve been at school all day and
are exhausted.
c. Walk the dog just to your front gate and back; a short walk is enough.

he needs to tell his mom.

d. Tell your mom you saw a broken vase in your Aunt’s room.
10. Last night, your mom made a delicious cake for dessert. Your little sister fell asleep
before she got to eat her cake, so your mom put it in the refrigerator for her to eat later.
You are starving when you get home from school, and that cake just looks so yummy.
Your sister won’t be home for another hour. You:
a. Eat all of the cake. If she doesn’t see it, she probably won’t remember it was there.
b. Eat just a few bites and leave the rest for your sister. She’ll never notice a few missing
bites.
c. Eat half of the cake and hope she doesn’t notice.
d. Leave the cake for your sister and find something else to eat.
Results
Give yourself the following points for the answers you chose:
0-15 points – Untrustworthy! Your parents question your every move for a
reason. Whether you copy someone else’s work, reveal your friends’ secrets,
or fail to complete your chores, you are the only person who can change your
behaviour. When people can trust you, doors will open for a more successful,
happy life. You might want to take time to think hard about ways you can
become more trustworthy. Speaking the truth (no matter the consequences),
following through on promises, and learning to trust others are all ways you
can increase your trustworthiness.
16-23 points – Somewhat trustworthy. Some people trust you, and some
people do not. When you look over your answers to this quiz, think about the
answers and the points they received. How do the 3-point answers make you
more trustworthy and the zero-point answers make you less trustworthy?
How can you become more responsible, reliable, and honest in your everyday
life?
24-30 points – trustworthy! You are to be commended for your
honesty and reliability. People trust you to do the right thing, and
most of the time, you follow through on that. Being trustworthy
and reliable all the time is not always easy, so kudos to you making
good choices!
