If Xavier asks himself the THINK questions regarding the comment that his friend looks tired, he might answer "yes" to the following criteria questions:

  • Is it true? - If he genuinely believes his friend looks tired, he might consider this statement to be true.

For the other criteria:

  • Is it helpful? - It's debatable; commenting on someone looking tired might not be seen as helpful.
  • Is it kind? - Commenting on someone looking tired may not be perceived as kind, as it could hurt feelings.
  • Is it necessary? - It's likely not necessary to comment on someone's appearance in this way.

So, the most probable "yes" answer would be to "Is it true?"

is that the right answer?

Yes, based on the THINK criteria, "Is it true?" is the most likely question that Xavier could answer "yes" to when considering the comment "she looks tired."

The other criteria—helpfulness, kindness, and necessity—would likely lead to "no" answers in this context, as commenting on someone's tired appearance might not be viewed as helpful, kind, or necessary.

If you're looking for a specific right answer within the context of the THINK model, "Is it true?" stands out as the applicable criteria.
