How to Coach Yourself and Others Beware of Manipulation | Page 235

Ticking four bs (=nr 2s) from the five questions above shows exactly what your inclinations are. You
don't listen to the other person's point of view. You don't respect anyone, as you are willing to walk
over people to achieve your goals. Remember what goes around, comes around! So develop an attitude
of tolerance, patience, as sometimes you need to hear a 'No' in your life.
You know to use your charms
If you get more cs (=nr 3s), it shows that you get your work done by charming your way through it. It's
a gentle form of manipulation, but there's a danger of it going the other side. So take a break once in a
while from using that charm of yours, learn to listen to people's opinions and their needs, and not force
them to do what they don't really want to. It'll earn you a few brownie points with those around you.
You are straightforward
If you get three as (=nr 1s) out of five right, then you fall in this category of people. When you want
something, you ask for it, knowing that the answer could be 'No.' Never having to manipulate shows
great strength of character, although some may believe you to be passive, don't pay heed to them. Keep
up the attitude, as it'll help you see things clearly for what they are, and help you keep moving forward.
You just don't have 'it'
