What Are Your People Skills How well do you understand people, observe their behavior, and address their personal and professional growth This self-test can help you see your skills. On a separate sheet of paper, write your score for each question. Write 4 if you strongly agree, 1 if you strongly disagree, or 2 or 3 if your feelings are somewhere in between. What Are Your People Skills    1. I think that people often are unaware of their true motivation. 2. Psychological factors often play more of a role in job performance than the job's required skills. 3. I make a conscious effort to understand the basic needs of others. 4. I am able to empathize with other people, even when I don't share their viewpoints. 5. I consciously try to organize my thinking around others. 6. People often reveal themselves by small details of behavior. 7. I am usually aware of people's strengths and weaknesses. 8. Most people aren't easy to read. 9. I notice when someone gets a new haircut, eyeglasses, or clothes. 10. After a meeting, I can usually accurately report how others responded to the discussion. 11. People may present themselves in a certain way that doesn't show who they really are. 12. I try not to read my own attitudes into other people's behavior. 13. I often think about the implications of my past impressions of people on the job. 14. When dealing with others, I try to consider how different they may be from me. 15. I don't judge someone until I have enough information to form a sound judgment. 16. I often think about ways to foster other people's personal and professional growth. 17. I see people for their potential-not how they can be of use to me, but how they can fulfill their life goals. 18. You can't change someone else. 19. When making decisions about people, I deliberately consider a wide range of factors. 20. I consciously try to help people play to their strengths and address their weaknesses. Total Score _____ What were your skills If your score was  75-80 -you're probably strong in solving people problems.  61-74 -you have potential strengths in this area.  40-60 -you have potential weaknesses in this area.  20-39 -you have weaknesses to work on in solving people problems. Now relate what you've learned to your work experiences by setting goals and intermediate targets. Then adjust! 4
