Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD) Practice Test

What is implied by the statement that co-workers say one is uptight?

1. Strongly Agree

2. Agree

3. Disagree

4. Strongly Disagree

The correct answer is: Strongly Disagree

The implication of co-workers describing someone as "uptight" typically suggests that this individual may be perceived as overly anxious, rigid, or excessively concerned about details and rules. This characterization can indicate a lack of ease or flexibility in social situations or in the workplace. Choosing a response that indicates "Strongly Disagree" suggests that the individual either does not feel uptight or is confident that their behavior is not seen that way by others. This can reflect self-awareness and comfort in asserting that one does not conform to the negative quality implied by being described as uptight. It also shows a degree of emotional intelligence in recognizing how one is perceived by peers and confidently defining their own demeanor, indicating a relaxed or approachable nature rather than the tension or stress associated with being uptight. In terms of the other responses, agreeing or strongly agreeing would imply acknowledgment of that uptight nature, while a neutral stance may lead to ambiguity regarding self-perception in relation to others’ opinions.
