Big Russian Soul
4. You've just slammed someone's arm in the door of your PAZ mikroavtobus trapping him half-on, half-off your vehicle as you begin to drive away. Do you:
- apologize profusely?
- curse him for being so slow to get on the bus?
- Stare straight ahead, ignoring his cries?
5. You are sitting on a park bench when a woman walks by who is smiling for no apparent reason. Which of the following best describes your first impression of the woman?
- She has a healthy outlook on life.
- She must be thinking about an anecdote she heard.
- She's a "well-worn piece of bast."
- She's insincerely pretending to be friendly the better to conceal the arctic aloofness of her soul.
- She's a simple-minded invalid.
- She's drunk.
- Her smile is insincere. She is an automaton, programmed to smile without provocation.
- Her smile is insincere. It is the permanent smile of a weak-minded dupe.
Rate the size of your Big Russian Soul.
