ex.

Propitiate------1------2------3------4------5------6------7------Provoke

Scenario: 
You have been working at the same company for 14 years now, but still make the same wage you made when you joined the company. You now feel that a raise is necessary, but your boss doesn't seem to care much for you. In order to gain his attention, you decide it is necessary to carry out favors for him, so that he is more inclined to increase your payroll. As a result, you do things such as get him coffee every morning from Dunkin' Donuts, you offer to walk his dog, pick up his dry cleaning, as well as clean his office. On the scale, you can be placed......

You would be placed at a 1 because you are doing these actions to make your boss inclined toward you so that you could obtain a raise. Since you are essentially doing everything for the boss, you would be trying as hard as you could to get the boss to do what you want by doing favors for him, and since you are not really doing anything against him, you would be at a 1.
