Introduction
We all bring our own habits, skills, and styles to work, school, community activities, and home life. Those personal characteristics often have a dramatic influence on what we do, how we do it, and how successful we are at our tasks.
Many of these characteristics are changeable, at least partly. If we find a characteristic that we like, we can strengthen it. If we find a characteristic that's getting in our way, we can in many cases modify it through time, attention, and effort. We can, in effect, get better at the tasks important to us.
Directions
WORKING helps you assess yourself on nine characteristics. For best results, respond to each item candidly. After scoring you will have important information for planning improvements in your life.
You are to read each statement and then select a response according to the following key:
