Are You Committed?

Before taking this quiz, try to imagine the following scenario as vividly as you can, as if the events described are really happening to you. After the visualization exercise, you will be asked to complete some word puzzles. This is designed to distract your attention from the scene you just visualized. After you complete the word puzzles, you will be asked how vividly you recall the scenario, which is why it’s important to imagine it as best as possible.

Now: imagine that you’re in a coffee shop and you run into a friend or a coworker whom you find attractive. Spend some time visualizing the scene and making it as real as possible. The man or woman you run into is really happy to see you, and you are also happy to see this person. The two of you strike up a warm, engaging conversation, and you lose track of time. You realize you need to get home. As you are leaving, the person gives you his/her phone number so you can get together again for coffee sometime.Now, take a break from the visualization exercise and try to solve the following word puzzles.
