Question

Xavier wants to comment on a friend’s photo that she looks tired. If he asks himself the THINK questions, he might answer “yes” to which of the following criteria questions? (Note: A “yes” doesn’t mean he should necessarily post the comment!)

3 answers

The THINK questions generally stand for:

  • T: Is it True?
  • H: Is it Helpful?
  • I: Is it Inspiring?
  • N: Is it Necessary?
  • K: Is it Kind?

If Xavier is considering commenting that his friend looks tired, he might answer "yes" to the following criteria:

  1. T: Is it True? – If he genuinely believes that she looks tired, he might answer "yes."
  2. H: Is it Helpful? – If he thinks that acknowledging her tiredness could be helpful for her in a supportive way, he may answer "yes."
  3. N: Is it Necessary? – If he feels that mentioning her looking tired is important, he might answer "yes," although this could be subjective.
  4. K: Is it Kind? – Depending on the context and relationship, he might believe that pointing it out kindly could be seen as genuine concern.

However, he might answer "no" to I: Is it Inspiring? – Because commenting on someone looking tired is generally not inspiring.

Ultimately, while answering the THINK questions can guide him, it doesn’t mean he should post the comment.

To have all of her information removed from Facebook, Yasmin should choose:

A. delete her account

Deleting her account will remove all of her data from the platform, while deactivating her account (option C) would temporarily disable her account, keeping her information on Facebook. Changing her password (option B) and adjusting her privacy settings (option D) will not result in the removal of her information.
