Assessing Your Personal Characteristics
Use this list as a catalyst for honest self-reflection. Reflect on how well you know yourself,
and assess your current level of interpersonal functioning.
•Sensitivity
I often have difficulty letting go of negative thoughts and emotions. I think/worry about what
others are thinking about me. In terms of emotional sensitivity, I easily cry over the smallest
things.
• Personal presence
I prefer to listen rather than to talk. In terms of socialization, I only get along with the people
I usually hang out with.
• Compassion & empathy
I always try to gain a deeper understanding of someone else's perspective without
immediately saying that it is bad or good. I am a person who always says to a friend that if
they need anything they can ask, and I am willing to provide help and support.
• Flexibility & willingness to receive feedback
Yes, I am willing to receive feedback because I find it a way or an opportunity to improve
myself.
• Integrity
I strive to be truthful. I own up to mistakes and try to learn from them.
• Modeling
I am trying to become a good model especially to my nephews and niece.
