Default Re: How much grit have you got?

QUIZ

On a scale of one to five, rate how well the following statements describe you. For items in black, a five is "strongly agree" and one is "strongly disagree."

<font color="red">Items in red are reverse scored: </font>
One is "strongly agree" and five is "strongly disagree"

Total your score and divide by six. If you score over 3.5, consider yourself gritty.

1. I am a hard worker.

Strongly disagree 1
Disagree 2

<font color="red">2. People often tell me that I don't perfom to my potential. </font>

The quiz is not important but that is no reason to do it wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It is just to get you thinking about how you can do anything if you are willing to suffer and stick with it. We all know this is true and we all have done it. And it seems the more often we attempt it and practice being gritty the better we get.

Sorry for being so gritty about this post I can't help it. lol
