Read each statement and respond as objectively as possible        

Not quite true

Already true

I have been listening intently, asking pointed questions and encouraging others as a preferred way of interacting with people all my life.

I always respond this way …it extends beyond work life.   I often do it in addition to my current job, sometimes even instead of performing well in my current job.

I can see the benefit of and enjoy having structured conversations in order for others to take effective intentional action.

I am inclined to make fine distinctions in language to clarify meaning.

I naturally put my own agenda aside in deference to the person I’m talking to.

I naturally see patterns in behavior that others don’t see.

I recognize and can share trends that result in others being more effective.

I naturally value and prefer to invest in people and relationships rather than in equipment, tasks or projects.

I have a keen awareness for underlying strengths, for what is not said, and for possibilities that are not yet realized.

I have a natural fascination for human interaction and am a student of human behavior (this might include reading, seminars, etc. and is not limited to formal education or degrees).
