Welcome to the quiz How Rhino Ready Are You?

A gray rhino is an obvious danger that offers us a choice: deny it or deal with it. Humans take these problems for granted all too often and get trampled because of it.

Gray rhinos happen in personal lives, at work, in communities and around the world. Why gray? Well, there are White rhinos which are not white and there are Black rhinos which are not black. Despite their names, they are all gray. It's the most obvious thing about them but we miss that glaring detail.

This quiz offers you a chance to evaluate your own gray rhino spotting and wrangling skills.

Think of the biggest problem you face in your life. Take a few minutes if you need. How would you describe the way you're dealing with it?

Problems? My life is hunky-dorey. Not a care in the world.

I know it's there but I don't like to think about it. So I don't. Maybe it will go away by itself.

Yeah, it's there, but I can't do much about it because [INSERT YOUR FAVORITE EXCUSES HERE]

I've got a plan to start dealing with it tomorrow.

I'm taking small steps to fix it.

I'm working full speed ahead on fixing it and keeping a log of my progress.

I can't just pick ONE biggest problem. There are so many I don't know where to start.

Hire a detective and snoop into your S.O's email and social media and phone to try to find information

You are an executive at an auto company and an employee alerts you to a major safety problem with a model that's about to go on the market. Fixing it will be expensive and likely delay the launch, make the CEO mad, and make a dent in your bonus. What do you do?

Tell the employee to pretend that this conversation never happened. Ask who else knows about it and what it will take to keep them quiet.

Safety comes first. Let your team and your boss know the situation, make sure the car is safe before it goes on market, and figure out why the problem happened and how to prevent it in the future.

Tell your boss and go along with a plan to launch the new model on schedule, fix the problem in cars that haven't rolled off the line yet, and find a pretext to bring the first ones sold in for repairs and hope nothing bad happens in the meantime.

Climate change. Discuss.

Absolutely real and scary. I use public transportation, conserve energy, and support policies that reduce greenhouse gases.

Real, but I can't do much about it.

Real, but not human caused.

No such thing. A conspiracy of tree huggers looking for solar and wind subsidies.

Real, but I'm not going to give up my SUV as long as China is building so many coal plants.

Real and I do what I can. I drive a hybrid, am a vegetarian, and buy carbon credits when I fly (which is often).

Real, but we should focus more on building defenses because realistically we can't stop it.

It is a problem and I do what I can by taking public transportation, recycling and buying recycled products, but I am not terrified because I have faith in the innovation of the future

Your job is funded by "soft" government money -that is, grants that need to be renewed. You have a new governor who is all about cutting budgets. What do you do?

There's not much I can do, so I keep my nose to the grindstone and hope for the best.

Use my tuition reimbursement plan to learn new skills that will give me the job I really want.

Update my resume and LinkedIn profile.

Work diligently on creating new revenue sources.

Love my job, hate my boss.

Love my job but I am always open to new challenges here or elsewhere, and so I engage and build my network.
