Business Etiquette Quiz
  • Divide in groups of 4
  • Decide on a spokesperson for the group
  • Decide whether or not each action is appropriate
    or inappropriate

19
Question 1
  • Nametags are placed on your left shoulder.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

20
Question 1
  • Inappropriate - Name tags are placed on your
    right shoulder because, when shaking hands, the
    eye follows the arm up to the tag.

21
Question 2
  • You dont drink, so you decide not to attend the
    office holiday party.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

22
Question 2
  • Inappropriate - Not attending shows disrespect.
    Most company-sponsored events are done to build
    team spirit or to accomplish other company goals,
    so you should attend for a little while.

23
Question 3
  • A man should hold the door open only for women.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

24
Question 3
  • Inappropriate - Business etiquette is based on
    position, not gender. Doors should be held open
    for people more senior in rank. Ideally, the
    person who gets to the door first should hold it
    open for all who follow.

25
Question 4
  • Answer your telephone promptly, after no more
    than two rings, and smile.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

26
Question 4
  • Appropriate - Your tone of voice changes when you
    smile - try it. Answering on two rings or less
    makes you look efficient and the caller feel
    important.

27
Question 5
  • When visitors come into your office, let them sit
    wherever they want.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

28
Question 5
  • Inappropriate - Indicate where your visitors
    should sit. It will make them more comfortable.

29
Question 6
  • You are having a face-to-face conversation with
    someone and your cell phone rings. You should
    say, Excuse me and then answer your phone.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

30
Question 6
  • Inappropriate - By answering the phone, you have
    just shown that the unknown caller is more
    important than the current conversation. If you
    are expecting a truly important call, tell that
    to the person you are speaking with ahead of time.

31
Question 7
  • It is okay to cut up to four pieces of meat at a
    time. It is acceptable to butter your entire roll
    at once.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

32
Question 7
  • Inappropriate - You should cut only one piece of
    meat at a time. Never butter an entire roll or
    piece of bread instead, break off a piece as you
    want to eat it and butter only that piece.

33
Question 8
  • You are holding a drink in your right hand when
    you are introduced to a client. You quickly move
    your drink to your left hand, wipe your hand off
    on your pants and offer a firm handshake.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

34
Question 8
  • Inappropriate - Make a habit of holding your
    drink in your left hand to avoid a "wet"
    handshake.

35
Question 9
  • If a male is having a business lunch with a
    female colleague, he pays the bill.
  • Appropriate Inappropriate

36
Question 9
  • Inappropriate - Gender is not important. The
    person who benefits from the lunch pays the bill
    normally this person did the inviting. If you
    are the guest, do not offer to pay the bill or
    tip. A thank you note within two days is always
    appropriate.

37
Question 10
  • The CEO of your company, Ms. Applegate, walks up
    to you at a reception where you are talking with
    a client, Mr. Fox. You say, Mr. Fox, Id like
    you to meet Ms. Applegate, the CEO of our
    company.
