  1. In NLP, which submodalities are considered 'drivers' for a particular experience?

    Answer: The submodalities that, when changed, cause the overall experience to shift significantly

    Driver submodalities are the critical qualities within a representation that, when altered, produce the greatest change in how an experience feels.

  2. The NLP logical levels model, developed by Robert Dilts, places 'identity' at which level?

    Answer: Above beliefs and values, below purpose/spirituality

    In Dilts' Neurological Levels, identity (sense of self) sits above beliefs/values and below the highest level of purpose or spirituality.

  3. What is the primary purpose of the NLP 'swish pattern'?

    Answer: Automatically replacing an unwanted habitual response with a desired self-image

    The swish pattern trains the brain to automatically move from a cue image (problem trigger) to a compelling resource image, redirecting automatic responses.

  4. A coach notices a client's breathing becomes shallow and their lips thin when discussing a past event. The coach is using which NLP skill?

    Answer: Calibration

    Calibration is the practice of carefully observing physiological cues to read a client's internal state without relying solely on words.

  5. Which NLP presupposition states that 'people have all the resources they need'?

    Answer: The presupposition of resourcefulness

    NLP assumes every person already has all the internal resources necessary; the coach's role is to help them access and apply those resources.

  6. In NLP timeline work, 'Through Time' people typically:

    Answer: Store their timeline in front of them, with past on the left and future on the right

    Through Time individuals typically store their timeline in front of them, making it easy to see the past and future simultaneously and plan sequentially.

  7. When a client generalizes a single negative experience to all similar situations, the NLP Meta-Model violation occurring is:

    Answer: Generalization — universal quantifier

    Universal quantifiers like 'all,' 'every,' 'never,' and 'always' signal a generalization where one experience is applied broadly without evidence.
