Udaan · Full assessment

The fuller mirror.

The deeper Udaan reading — the five dimensions of the person, the aptitude to lead and to build, and the values that hold it all together. Udaan means flight.

Stage 2 of 2 · about 40–50 minutes

Namaste, and welcome. This is not an exam, and there are no trick questions. It is a mirror — a fuller one than the screener. There is no single right personality, and there are no clinical or mental-health questions here. Answer as you truly are; the profile is only useful if it is true.

What it asks, and how it is read

Statements to agree or disagree with, a set of reasoning items, real situations with choices, and a few short written reflections.

Your answers become a whole-person profile, read by a person, and they become the beginning of your own development plan. No single score decides anything on its own. At most, a profile opens a conversation.

Set aside a quiet hour. You may stop and come back to it.

You must be eighteen or above to take this — every associate of ARISE is. The five-point scale means: Strongly disagree · Disagree · Neutral · Agree · Strongly agree. For the puzzles, choose the single best answer.

Before you begin — what happens to what you write here

Who sees it inside ARISE. Your responses are read by the trained assessors of the ARISE assessment desk and by the person responsible for your development. Nobody else inside the movement sees them.

It may be shared with an employer — only if you say so. This is one of the four adult instruments of Vyakti Darpan — Prerak, Udaan, Setu and Acharya. Any of the four may be shared with an employer, as complementary input to your attribute validation report, for one named candidate and one named opportunity. That happens only with your consent, given separately for that sharing and withdrawable at any time. It is never shared without your consent, never sent as a list, and every disclosure is logged and told to you.

It is sensitive personal data. Under the law in force today this is sensitive personal data, and it is held that way — the minimum collected, stored securely, kept only as long as it is needed, and shared only under a written agreement carrying safeguarding riders.

What you may ask for, at any time. You may ask what is held about you, ask for a human review of any result, correct it, withdraw your consent, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to the assessment desk and a person will answer you.

Nothing here decides whether you may join ARISE. No assessment decides whether you may join, or bars you from anything. This is a mirror and the opening of a conversation — never a verdict, and never an automatic decision.

Taking part is voluntary, and you may stop at any point. The full account is in the privacy notice.

Real situations

Read each situation and choose the one option closest to what you would actually do. Choose honestly.

55. Your college team of five has a submission due in three days. Two members have done almost nothing despite reminders. You have done the most work.

Do their parts yourself so the marks are safe, and say nothing. Report them to the professor immediately and ask that they get zero. Call the whole team together, honestly lay out what is pending, give everyone a clear part with a deadline — and offer to help whoever is stuck. Do only your own part well and let the others’ sections fail.

56. At a busy shop, the cashier hands you ₹200 too much in change and does not notice. You are short of money this month.

Keep it — it was the cashier’s mistake, not yours. Point it out and return the extra amount. Keep it but feel guilty about it. Keep it and tell yourself the shop can afford the loss.

57. At your internship, your manager tells you to change some numbers in a report to make the results look better before a client sees them.

Do it — he is my senior and I should obey. Refuse outright in front of everyone and call it fraud. Respectfully raise your concern with him in private, explain why it worries you, and suggest presenting the real numbers with a plan to improve them. Quietly do nothing and hope he forgets.

58. Your ARISE club wants to run a science day for a nearby government school, but you have almost no budget.

Postpone it until you can raise proper funds. Cancel — without money it cannot be done well. Use what you have: borrow simple materials, get college seniors to volunteer as guides, and design experiments from everyday objects. Ask each club member to personally pay for everything.

59. Your close friend proudly tells you they got an internship by faking experience on their CV, and encourages you to do the same.

Do the same — everyone does it and it is the only way to compete. Cut off the friend and expose them publicly. Tell your friend honestly that you are not comfortable with it and would rather earn the role on merit, without preaching at them. Say nothing and quietly judge them.

60. In a volunteer team, one member from a rural background rarely speaks in meetings, though you sense they have good ideas.

Leave them alone; if they had ideas they would speak. Put them on the spot in the next meeting to force them to talk. Speak to them one-to-one, ask their views, and create small ways for them to contribute so their ideas reach the group. Simply pass on their ideas as your own to save time.

61. On the morning of a community event you organised, the venue is suddenly unavailable and 60 people are arriving in two hours.

Cancel and apologise to everyone. Freeze and wait for a senior to solve it. Quickly rally your team, find an alternative space (a college hall, a park, a willing shopkeeper’s yard), and message attendees the new plan. Go ahead at the original venue and hope the problem sorts itself out.

62. Your club’s project wins praise from a visiting dignitary, who assumes you did it all and congratulates only you in front of everyone.

Accept the praise; you did lead it, after all. Awkwardly say nothing and feel uncomfortable. Thank them and immediately name your teammates and what each contributed. Downplay everything and say it was nothing.

What is more true of you

Both options are good. Pick the one closer to the real you.

63. Which is closer to you?

I want to be recognised as one of the best in my field. I want to be known as someone who lifted others up.

64. Which is closer to you?

It is important that people respect my authority. It is important that people can trust my word.

65. Which is closer to you?

I would take a high-paying job I found meaningless. I would take a modest job that clearly helps my community.

66. Which is closer to you?

When I achieve something, I want the credit to be clearly mine. When my team achieves something, shared credit satisfies me.

67. Which is closer to you?

Rules should bend when they get in the way of my goals. I keep to my principles even when they slow me down.

68. Which is closer to you?

I would rather be admired for my success. I would rather be depended upon in a crisis.
