  1. The NLP technique of 'collapsing anchors' is used to:

    Answer: Neutralize a negative state by simultaneously firing a positive anchor

    Collapsing anchors involves simultaneously triggering a negative anchor and a strong positive anchor so they integrate and neutralize the negative state.

  2. In NLP, 'chunking up' means:

    Answer: Moving to a higher level of abstraction to find broader categories or purpose

    Chunking up moves from specific details toward broader categories, purposes, or values — useful for finding common ground or higher-level agreement.

  3. A client believes 'I must be perfect or I am worthless.' An NLP coach recognizing a limiting belief would FIRST:

    Answer: Identify the positive intention behind the belief before working to update it

    NLP presupposes every behavior has a positive intention; uncovering what the limiting belief is trying to protect or achieve is a prerequisite for ecological change.

  4. Which representational system does the eye-accessing cue of 'looking up and to the left' classically indicate (for a right-handed person)?

    Answer: Visually remembered images

    According to classic NLP eye-accessing cue models, up and to the left (from the observer's view) typically indicates visual recall of remembered images.

  5. The NLP 'well-formed outcome' criteria require that a goal must be:

    Answer: Stated positively, self-initiated, and verifiable through sensory evidence

    A well-formed outcome in NLP must be stated in the positive, within the client's control, and evidenced by what the client will see, hear, and feel when achieved.

  6. In NLP, the 'as-if' frame is used to:

    Answer: Enable a client to think, feel, and act as if a desired outcome has already occurred

    The as-if frame invites clients to temporarily adopt the perspective of a desired future state or identity to access new possibilities and resources.

  7. What does the NLP term 'congruence' mean in the context of coaching?

    Answer: All parts of a person's communication (verbal, tonal, and body language) align

    Congruence in NLP means a person's words, tonality, and physiology all send the same message, indicating internal alignment and authenticity.
