Pre-Test Examination


DISCLAIMER:  This is a routine pre-test examination to demonstrate powerfully the necessity for formal Mentor Education and Competency Certification.™  The purpose of this pre-test is to identify a would-be mentor's current thought process and examine the common knowledge-base of the would-be mentor.   Participation is strictly voluntary.  Some questions require very HONEST answers.  There is no right or wrong answer and the pre-test is not designed to subvert a would-be mentor's core beliefs or to judge personal opinion. 

Golden Rule & Academic Honor Standard:

"You may look up for inspiration, foward for future direction, down in exasperation, BUT NEVER TO THE SIDE FOR INFORMATION."
