I actively search for my limitations. I seek advice from people which could help me in improving my relationships. I make a broad plan of a project rather than plan by breaking it down into smaller tasks. I make efforts to prepare for major eventualities when I undertake a task. While working in a team, when I see interpersonal conflicts, I prefer to keep myself away from the situation. I prefer to start doing a task than spending time in thinking about the obstacles that may hamper the completion of the task. If I feel that my work is good, then I do not pay much attention to others’ criticism. When my relationship with someone breaks, I do not like to think about it. I do not see much sense in incorporating past learnings in my future ventures. I do not take credit of someone else’s hard work. I do not think that it is worthwhile to analyze my weaknesses. Before I try to convince others, I prepare myself well with facts and information. I don’t consider it important to gather information from different sources and then plan. I am fully confident when I am finally presenting my work. In conflicting situations, I wait for the other person to take the first step for resolving the conflict. When I get stuck in the middle of a task, I look for help from someone else. I systematically follow a schedule of self-improvement. My independence is more important to me than compromising it to please my friends and colleagues. If I fail on a task, I do not think it serves any purpose in crying over the spilled milk. I do not see others’ personal papers without their knowledge. I get so anxious at the planning stage of any project that my work gets delayed. I get upset with people who pass discouraging comments about my ideas. If my planning fails I try to find alternative solutions but it makes me emotionally upset. I try to rectify my mistakes soon without getting overtly upset. I lose patience with people who do not respond to my efforts for collaboration. I face difficulties as they come in an assignment, but they disturb me a lot. I am unable to overcome feelings of disappointment at my failures for many days. If a decision on my part affects someone negatively, even if it was right, I feel miserable about it for a long time and am unable to concentrate If I fail on a task it becomes difficult for me to face people. I do not get rude or upset with my parents no matter what the issue is. I constantly identify my strengths. I search for information which could help me in assessing people. When planning for a project, I do not waste time in anticipating problems which may arise. I do not organize my personal paperwork very systematically. I inform people about the benefits of the task they have to do. I analyse alternative ways of accomplishing tasks and change tactics if needed. When friends criticize me, I do not mind but I usually find it difficult to understand their criticism. When I have had a misunderstanding with someone, I analyze in detail the reasons behind it. I do not look back at my earlier mistakes for new projects. If someone blames me, I do not feel upset whether it was my fault or not I do things as they come, without any planning and evaluation. When I am asked to resolve conflict between two persons, I seek objective information and then take further steps. I explore several possible ways of doing a task. When I encounter obstacles in my work I immediately take help from someone. I put a great deal of effort at continuing relationships I do not follow the time schedules very strictly. I rarely seek advice from my friends regarding how I can be a better person. If I am in-charge of a project, I find it easy to get things done from other people. I like to finish tasks as per the instructions and then do not bother. I do not give false excuses. I get very excited when a new idea comes to my mind and start working on it without wasting time on planning. I cannot remain calm with people whose opinion differs from mine. When I reach a dead-end in the primary stages of planning I get very demotivated. I get easily upset when things go wrong and I am usually unable to hide it. When I am under pressure to finish a task, I lose my temper due to people’s mistakes. When I am successful in the beginning, I get so excited that I become relaxed. Good news makes me so happy that I am unable to work for several days. I do not feel good about keeping cordial relationship with someone, with whom professional association has to be discontinued. If I fail on a task, I get upset with myself. I do not cheat in a game. |
