Survey

I like surveys. They are like a test that you always score 100% no matter what you answer. So I was taking a survey for the University about leadership when I tripped over this question:

'Being seen as a person of integrity is important to me.'

and the accompanying bubbles to click on, indicating that I strongly agree or disagree on a scale of one to five.

I instinctively clicked Strongly Disagree, because I truly could give a shit what anyone thinks about me. But for some reason, I could not move on until my Inner Philosopher could get a question answered: 'What does that answer mean?'

When I looked at my answer, it seemed strange, as though this were a question I was in very real danger of getting wrong. My Inner Philosopher piped up again, 'Does this mean you don't *care* if you are non-integral person?'

The problem is whether the question was related to *being* a person of integrity, or *being seen* as a person of integrity. Assuming the second, my answer was simple.

'Of course I do, I just don't care if you see it or not.'

That shut my Inner Philosopher up right quick. I don't care what he thinks about me either. Nosy bastard.
