Actual exam question for CIPS's L3M4 exam

[All L3M4 Questions]

'A team has a common XXXX and YYYY'.

Select the one which fits best.

ACaptain and uniform

BLanguage and culture

CEmployer and hobbies

DPurpose and goals

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Purpose and goals - the description is part of the definition of a team.

Language and culture might immediately appeal, but is not the correct answer. Teams might com-monly have the same employer. Captain and uniform is a mild attempt at humour - teams don't need a uniform, although some do eg airline crews and footballers.

C is just random, hobbies don’t define a team!

B is interesting too, language and culture can really bring people together.

Wait, can a team really have a common employer? Seems odd.

I think D makes more sense, purpose and goals unite a team.

Definitely A, every team needs a captain!

I feel like "Purpose and goals" aligns with what we discussed in class about team cohesion.

"Captain and uniform" sounds like it could fit, but it feels more specific to sports teams, right?

I remember a practice question about team dynamics, and "Language and culture" seemed relevant there.

I think "Purpose and goals" makes the most sense for a team, but I'm not entirely sure.

Okay, let's see. The options are all about different things teams might have in common. I'll try to match that up with the prompt and choose the best fit.

Hmm, I'm not sure what the question is asking for exactly. I'll need to think about the key words "common XXXX and YYYY" to figure out the right answer.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'll just read through the options and pick the one that best fits the description.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The answer is probably "Language and culture" since that's a common thing teams would share.

I'm not sure, but I think B) Language and culture could also be important for a team to have in common.

Haha, C has got to be the funniest option. Employer and hobbies? That's like saying a knitting club is the same as the Justice League. D is the way to go, no doubt.

I agree with Tasia, a team definitely needs a common purpose and goals to work towards.

I was going to go with A, captain and uniform, but then I remembered my old intramural dodgeball team. We had the same t-shirts but never won a single game. Clearly, that's not what defines a real team.

D, definitely. Without a shared purpose and goals, you're just a bunch of random people wearing the same outfit. Like a football team where everyone has their own agenda - it would be a disaster!

I was thinking B, language and culture, but D makes more sense. You can have a shared language and background, but if the team doesn't have a common purpose, it's not really a team, is it?
