What Interpersonal Capacities Should I Develop?

How to Improve the Way You Relate to People


Do you wonder…
  • Do I need to be more assertive, cooperative, self-supporting?
  • What capacities will help my relationships to be successful?
  • What capacities do I need to have more harmonious interactions with people?
  • What capacities will help me in social settings?

Take this quiz to learn which Interpersonal Capacities would be most useful for you.

This quiz covers all the Interpersonal Capacities. I have created two quizzes for capacities (this one and the Personal Capacities Quiz) instead of one, in order to limit the number of questions in each quiz.
Some of the questions refer to your "partner." If you aren't in a love relationship, answer these questions in terms of how you have been in past relationships. If you have changed since the last time you were in a love relationship, answer based on how you think you would be now. If you've never been in a love relationship, answer in terms of the person you are closest to.
 
  • Most people take between 4 and 8 minutes to complete the quiz.
  • Answer these questions to the best of your ability, without giving them a great deal of thought.
  • Write down your first reaction.
  • You must answer all the questions.
