| How Do You Present Yourself To The World? |
|
Are you confident in your opinions? Do you present your beliefs in a firm, assertive, poised manner? Or do you avoid eye contact, look at your feet and giggle nervously when asked to give your point of view on a given subject?
If you offer your perspective in a way that says to the world: "I am a person of strong convictions," you are bound to be taken much more seriously than someone who does not.
Take the following quiz to find out just how assertively you come across to other people.When you have completed the test and have received your own results, be sure to guess what your friends' and family's results will be in the spaces provided. This fascinating, free test will then automatically be sent to them and, after they take it, you'll find out if your guess was right or wrong!
