We have had a number of posts on emotional intelligence which is a key part of your overall makeup. Another factor to consider is your own personality. What sort of personality do you have? I am a strong believer of the principle that if you understand your own personality and behaviour you have a better chance of modifying it when required to suit particular situations and you will also have a better chance of understanding other people’s personalities and behaviour. Knowledge of yourself is the gateway to understanding others. I read this blog post recently and tried out some of the tests. There are some great tests here and heaps of information which you can use to work out yourself but they could also be useful in some training groups, coaching and mentoring opportunities. If nothing else it can be fun! let me know which ones you tried and how it went.
