Managing+impulsivity

Sometimes we blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. Sometimes we lack an organized strategy for approaching a problem; sometimes we make immediate value judgments about an idea before fully understanding it.
 * Managing Impulsivity

On the unit 7 Acids and Bases Chapter Test, I answered a problem without finishing reading the question thoroughly. I answered that to neutralize sodium hydroxide, it would be best to pour hydrochloric acid on your hand. However, I didn't read the part which says "Which of the following chemicals in your KITCHEN". While Hydrochloric acid is acetic, it would most likely burn your hand. Also, it is not commonly found in one's kitchen. This costed me a point on the test. Next time, I'll be sure to manage my impulsivity and understand the question before I answer it.
