Give 3 points for every “a”, 2 points for every “b”, and 1 point for every “c”. If the

sum total is:

from 15 to 12 - You are an open-minded person eager to share your ideas with others

and to know what’s new in your field of science. That’s why you are ready to put up

with some inconveniences. Maybe in the end it will pay off. But aren’t you afraid that

someone will make profit using your ideas while you are so busy participating in

conferences?

from 11 to 9 - You are quite a practical person. You always think twice before doing

something. It’s praiseworthy, but wise men say that sometimes thought kills action and

as action always breeds thought, you may miss some brilliant ideas,

from 8 to 5 - Either you are not interested in participating in conferences or you are

very inert and tiy to find good reasons to stay at home and rummage in the Internet or

read books. In this case you should consider participation in virtual conferences. And we

hope your mind is quicker than your body.
