Written scenario · Empathy, Communication

Only one of us

You and your twin brother both applied to the same competitive university program.

You were admitted and he was not. Your parents have planned a celebration dinner for you this weekend and invited relatives. Your brother congratulated you, but since then he has stayed in his room and stopped answering your messages.

The two questions

  1. 1What would you do?
  2. 2How do you celebrate your own success when someone close to you is hurting?

What raters look for

Empathy
Recognizes what others feel and need, and lets that shape the response without losing judgment.
Communication
Listens first, speaks clearly and respectfully, and adapts the message to the listener.
