Self-Assessment Quiz

Are you ready for the quiz? For each item, rate yourself from 1 (mostly not true) to 5 (mostly true).

1. I have trouble saying no.

2. I have trouble asking directly for what I want.

3. I hate to disappoint people.

4. I think people take advantage of my good nature.

5. I empathize with other people’s needs and viewpoints more easily than with my own.

6. If my partner wants to make love, talk, or do something else with me, I’m always available.

7. If I’ve asked for what I want several times and don’t get it, I tend to stop asking.

How’d you do? Again, if you came up with lots of 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s, you may need more practice with asserting your wants. Number 7 is especially challenging for most people. As you just read, it was a tough one for me. If your score was high, don’t worry — you’re in good company. Many people who consider themselves honest have difficulty asserting what they want and don’t want. People like Karl and Carla are actually quite effective communicators as long as they don’t need to assert themselves! Both of them, like me, were probably acting under the influence of false beliefs learned when they were children, beliefs that were keeping their lives stuck. I hope you are beginning to see how important it is to continue to express yourself, even when it seems you have little chance of getting what you ask for. Practicing this truth skill keeps your energy flowing. It keeps you from getting stuck.

Continue to express yourself, even when it seems you have little chance of getting what you ask for.
