1.	Your daughter is engaged to be married. She has had a gambling addiction for a number of years but has not disclosed it to her fiancé, your future son-in-law. What do you do?
2.	You are the headmaster at a medium-sized independent school, grades K-12. The upper school grades, in particular, are rigorous and prepare students for admission to the most selective universities in the country. You offer enrollment to any kindergartener who knows his or her colors and who can pass a basic social-skills test (ability to say “Please,” “Thank you,” etc., at the appropriate times), provided the parents can afford the tuition. By fourth grade, however, it is obvious that certain students are simply never going to be able to thrive in your upper school. What do you do?
3.	You are an unmarried woman in your early 20s. You are in a serious (though celibate) relationship with a young man. Although you have been dating for only a couple of months, you hope to marry him someday. In your previous relationship, you were, ah, shall we say, less careful. At what point do you tell your current boyfriend that you are “late”? your previous boyfriend? Does the order matter?
4.	The year is 2018. Technology has now advanced to the point where the genome of any fetus can be sequenced and statistically compared against a vast database of behaviors and diseases that are associated with particular genes. What do you tell the parents-to-be of a child who, based on his genome, is likely (> 50% probability) to grow up to be a sociopath?
5.	It is the day before your wedding. The rehearsal dinner is finished, and your parents have picked up most of the hefty tab. Your fiancée’s parents have spent more than $50,000 on wedding-related expenses, including paying part of the travel and hotel expenses for the out-of-town guests who are participating in the wedding. The wedding cake is already assembled, the reception room is booked, the musicians have already been paid, etc., etc. You are expecting several hundred guests the next day, most of whom have purchased expensive gifts on your behalf. Before you head off to your bachelor party with some buddies, your bride-to-be tells you that she has been waiting almost a year to tell you something, and she is very sorry, but she says that she doesn’t actually love you. What do you do?
6.	Is it necessary to be entirely truthful with your spouse, or are there certain minor items that can be concealed? Are there categories of items that can never be concealed and others that are lower priority (in other words, things that should be disclosed but might be justifiably concealed under certain circumstances)? List, if they exist, examples of things that should never be concealed. Continue on the next page if necessary.
7.	You have been studying in law school in hopes of passing the bar and obtaining a good job. You have several offers upon graduation, including one in midtown Manhattan that pays more money than you could ever have imagined. Money has always been extremely important to you. What should run through your mind?
8.	You and your wife agree to name your firstborn son Throckmorton Englebert Nyquist. You both agree that the initials “T. E. N.” are perfect, since after all, what could be more perfect than a 10? What should be running through your mind?
9.	Your boss asks you if you can finish up a certain project by noon tomorrow. You say yes, but because of traffic delays, you do not arrive at work until 9:30 the next morning. That pinches you a little bit on your schedule, and you realize that you will not be able to finish by noon. You work through your lunch hour, finishing by 1:00 p.m., and to make sure that your boss doesn’t find fault with you, you make the final report excellent beyond even your usual high standards. It is waiting for your boss when she returns from lunch at 1:00 p.m. Should you have handled this differently?
10.	There are no competitors in your particular line of work, and your company is profitable. A new MBA that you have recently hired says that you are doing things all wrong, that you need to conduct an IPO and expand by franchising to cover the entire nation. Is this a good idea?
11.	You are HIV-positive. At what point do you inform your significant other?
12.	You are owner and CEO of a privately held company. Because of a catastrophic fourth quarter, it is clear that you are insolvent and will need to cease operations completely within a month. The only question is when to pull the plug. Do you tell your employees on December 1, or do you wait until January 1 so that they can enjoy Christmas and other holidays with their families?
