ATTITUDE

This is your primary perspective and is how you view your Goal as well as everything else in your life. Your Attitude is the lens through which you look at the world.

Instructions:

First, read all the statements and try them on for size. You may notice that you identify with or have experienced them all. This is so for most people. Here, however, look for the ones that you habitually use. How would other people describe your attitude? Pick the group of statements that most accurately sums up your attitude, then see the Key below.
