The
Common
Well Cooperative (PMA)
Initial
Discernment Questionnaire (Responses are private.
There are no correct answers.) When you think about
money, what
emotion is most present for you right now? Do you believe most
people are
fundamentally trustworthy, fundamentally self-interested, or something
else?
Please explain briefly. Describe a situation in
your life
where cooperation with others produced a better outcome than acting
alone. How do you personally
define “having
enough”? Have you ever walked
away from an
opportunity because it conflicted with your values? If so, what was the
cost? When someone shares
sensitive
information with you, what determines whether you keep it private? Do you believe privacy
is a right, a
privilege, or a responsibility? Why? In your view, what is
the difference
between being capable and being entitled? How comfortable are you
with long-term
commitments that do not promise immediate or measurable returns? Describe a time when
remaining silent
was more appropriate than speaking. When working within a
group, what
frustrates you most? Do you believe
individuals succeed
primarily because of personal effort, collective support, circumstance,
or a
combination? Explain. How do you typically
respond when you
are not recognized or acknowledged for your contribution? What does
“confidentiality” mean to
you in practical, everyday terms? Have you ever been
entrusted with
information that, if shared publicly, could have benefited you
personally? What
did you do? Do you believe wealth
changes a
person’s character, reveals it, or has no effect? Why? When you imagine a
future where your
basic needs are securely met, how do you see yourself spending your
time? How do you distinguish
between public
information and private knowledge in your own life? What responsibilities,
if any, do you
believe come with increased financial capacity? Describe an experience
that
significantly changed how you view cooperation, trust, or community. Are you more motivated
by independence
or interdependence? Please explain your reasoning. How do you handle
situations where
others move more slowly or cautiously than you would prefer? In your opinion, what
causes most
cooperative efforts to fail? Do you believe that some
processes
should remain undisclosed even if they are lawful and beneficial? Why
or why
not? How do you personally
determine
whether something should be shared widely or kept within a trusted
circle? What does personal
integrity mean to
you when no one is watching? Have you ever felt
unworthy of having
more than you currently do? If so, where do you believe that belief
originated? When joining something
new, what
matters more to you: understanding the structure or understanding the
people
involved? How do you respond to
systems or
groups that require restraint rather than visibility? What would cause you to
step away from
a collective effort, even if it was materially beneficial to you? No
obligation. No urgency.
Silence is acceptable. |
