What describes your approach to problem solving in the best manner?

I need specific tasks to be my productive best. It is difficult to find solutions to open ended questions.

I can undertake unstructured projects independently, but I do need help when they become complex

What is the fun, if some one else structures the problem for you? I am best used, when I solve business problems rather than specific parts.

Do you enjoy deep research and can spend hours slicing and dicing data?

You want a change every few hours. You can’t work on a single problem for the entire day

You can work on a research problem – but need some side work to help you out of boredom

You feel the side work is distracting you from making progress on the key problem you are working. Would be happy if they are taken away.

Can’t stand distractions

You and your manager have worked very hard on a project for last 12 months. Just before entering the meeting with the client for final presentation of the project, your manager had to leave due to unavoidable personal reasons.

What do you do next?

You are confused and not sure what to do next. You try to get your manager's manager in the room so that he / she can handle the situation.

You ask your client to re-schedule the meeting

You ask for 30 minutes from the client to do a dry run of the presentation and go through the finer details of the project

You are confident of presenting data based stories any where, any time. So you take the lead in the meeting and continue as if nothing has happened.

You and your college friend are talking about good old college days in a pub. All of a sudden, he interrupts you in between and asks you whether you have tried out the new cab service in town.

What do you do?

You tell whether you have tried the service or not and go back to our good old college talk. Useless distraction!

You first tell whether you have tried the service or not and go back to our good old college talk. But you continue to think, why did he ask this in between?

You first ask your friend why did he ask this question in first place. How can you give him an answer until you understand "Why?"

How do you feel when you come across this riddle:

Drill a hole thru a sphere such that the height of what remains of the sphere is 10 cm. What is its remaining volume? (BTW, this riddle was endorsed by Elon Musk to be a good riddle)

This is only for Elon Musk to solve. Get me out of here.

Sounds interesting - let me think over it, but I am not sure I'll be able to solve.

Couldn't have asked for a better feed for my mind. See you when I solve it!

Almost there!
