(Think through these questions and analyse yourself patiently. For every positive trait, give yourself one point. For every negative trait, one minus point. Be honest with yourself. Anyway, you don’t have to share what you have discovered about yourself with anyone.)

Do you seek out mentors? Or do you have problems accepting guidance?
Do you take professional disagreements in your stride? Or do you let them affect your functioning?
Do you willingly take up new assignments and develop the skills required for them? Or do you fear the unknown?
