In reading each situation, interpret key concepts in terms of the environment or situation, in which you most often think of yourself assuming a leadership role. For example, when an item mentions subordinates, if you think that you engage in leader behavior most often as an industrial manager, then think about your staff as subordinates. As if however, you think of yourself as assuming a leadership role usually as parent, think about children as your subordinates. Do not change your situational frame or reference from one item to another.
