Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Why should you not rely on a general chatbot's own estimate of what a role pays?
   • Chatbots are legally barred from discussing salaries
   • Its figures may be outdated, mix locations, or be invented
   • Chatbots always underestimate salaries on purpose
   • Salary data is never part of any training data
2. What model tendency makes an unconfigured AI 'manager' accept your first counteroffer too easily?
   • Tokenization errors
   • A small context window
   • Sycophancy, the pull toward agreeing with the user
   • Low image resolution
3. What does giving the AI persona a hidden maximum budget accomplish?
   • It gives the persona something to protect, so its resistance stays consistent
   • It lets the AI look up the company's real pay bands
   • It guarantees you will get that amount in the real negotiation
   • It stops the AI from asking any questions
4. Which of these is a source of real pay data recommended in the guide?

5. Why does the guide suggest getting feedback in a separate chat or with a clear role switch?
   • Separate chats are always free

   • It cannot produce any objections
   • It only works for tech jobs
   • It refuses to play a hiring manager
8. Before pasting an offer letter into a chatbot, what should you do?
   • Add your Social Security number so the AI can verify you

   • Remove names, IDs and confidential details
