My answer

1. 01  – Are you capable of being vain about your art & design?
   
   

   - Yes, I am.

   
   
2. 02  – Do you have a healthy ego?
   
   

   - Yes, I do but not all the time. For me, It depends on situation.

   
   
3. 03  – What defines an unhealthy ego?
   
   

   - Always thinking about negative things.

   
   
4. 04  – When others want to change your ideas, do you get offended?
   
   

   - Sometimes, it depends on what the new idea is and how much that person has knowledge about it. If i'm very confident in my idea, I think I have enough knowledge to think about it and that person is not really understand about my idea but she wants to change. I will get offended.

   
   
5. 05  – When you are asked for opinions on other’s work, do you compare it to your own?

8. 07  – If somebody plagiarised your work, would you be proud?
   
   

   - No, I wouldn't. 

   
   
9. 08  – What is the difference between pride in your work, and vanity about your work?
   
10. 
    

    - I think "pride in your work" is like I feel proud and happy with my work. It is positive thing but "vanity about your work" is like "I think my work is the best" or I can say it is over confident. It is negative thing.

11. 
    

    - Yes, I do.

    
    10  – When somebody else speaks are you thinking about what you are going to say
    next?
    
    

    - Sometimes. If I interested in that things, I always did it in Thailand but not in Australia. 

    
    11 – Do you form opinions about others quickly?
    
    

    - Yes,I do.
