Now that you’ve determined your style is more directive than informative in the first part of the quiz, the second part of determining your interaction style is based on where your attention and energy are usually focused. Do you focus on the outer world or your inner world first?
If you first focus on the inner world, you …
- Usually think before you act
- Take a few seconds to formulate a reply before answering someone
- Need to think through an idea before sharing it
- Often take time for reflection
- Gain energy from spending time alone
- Find it easy to tune out the outside world
- Feel drained after a party where you knew no one
- Respond more often than you initiate
