Ideas in this flowchart
- Two fun self-tests assess persuasion ability and office-political skills.
- Table 1 assesses the ability to persuade others.
- For questions 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, and 11, Strongly Agree earns 2 points, Agree earns 1 point, and all other responses earn 0 points.
- For questions 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9, Disagree earns 4 points and Strongly Disagree earns 5 points; all other responses earn 0 points.
- The total score determines the level of persuasion ability.
- A score between 40 and 55 indicates an excellent ability to persuade others.
- A score between 30 and 39 indicates reasonably good persuasion skills, but listening and communication may need improvement.
- A score below 30 suggests reading a book or taking a short course on persuasion.
- Table 2 assesses skill in office politics.
- For questions 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 13, each True answer earns 1 point.
- For questions 2, 5, 6, 9, and 11, each False answer earns 1 point.
- A score of 9 or below may indicate good work management but a need to improve political skills.
- Being political means getting along with others to move them toward a specific goal.
- Those with a low score should review the chapter's tips on becoming an effective political player.
