I got 80%-- I think I messed up on the "business cards in pockets" and "gifts & business deals" questions. |

Yeah. I prefer a more aggressive in your face kind of quiz. |

I got 80% too. Just had a quick look. Try to change your answers to get a higher %. I couldn't. No matter what I changed, I seemed to get a lower score
Maybe 80% is the highest possible.If so, I'm satisfied. Can anyone confirm? |

Maintaining eye contact not rude.
Gift in return = more expensive |

90%
Wonder what the supposedly incorrect answer was ...
Here it is : "Make sure the gift you give in return is more expensive."
BS, never learned nor heard that one before. |

I got 80% and I've never even been to Korea!
The two questions that I got wrong (my answers in red):
3. Maintaining eye contact is considered good etiquette
True
False
I read in this that you should avoid prolonged bouts of eye contact with your superiors as it make them feel uneasy and challanged. Anyone care to substantiate?
8. When reciprocating in gift giving, what should you do?
Make sure the gift you give in return is more expensive
Make sure the gift you give in return is of equal value/worth
I guess the secret here is to always be giving out cheap gifts - you'll save a fortune in the long run and pick up some expensive booty to boot. |

| 80%, but hey, I gave a gift to a Korean coworker for her birthday and she didn't give me anything for mine 2 weeks later. She didn't even come to my party and I went to her party, too. She's Korean and has poor culture form. hahaha! |
