This TICK test will
help you to discover more about yourself and your abilities and is a great help
when making plans and weaving dreams for the future. It can be an eye-opener and
some
have found it particularly useful when shared around a table with colleagues and
with their families.
T Talents
Even the most
high-powered people don't realise how many things they are good at. Make a list
of all the talents you have, no matter how big or small, in every area. of your
life. Discovering just how many things you can do is the solid basis for your
future.
I Interests
List the interests
you have, in as much detail as possible. What interests do you follow and which
ones do you neglect? What would you love to spend more time doing? Do you spend
time on things which have nothing to do with your job? Can you happily talk to a
stranger at a party about something which interests you? What talents have you
closed down, due to pressure of work or anxiety about success or failure?
C Challenges and choices
What do you want to
do with the whole of your life? What kinds of choices have you made so far? What
challenges excite and inspire you?
K Kindness
How kind are you
towards yourself? Do you look after yourself, recognise what you need and
provide it - for instance rest, a break, a change? Or are you tough, intolerant
and demanding towards yourself? When someone gives you a compliment, do you
accept it? Positive comments from others provide us with `the wind beneath our
wings', and should be valued.
When you have done
the TICK test, look at the results you've come up with and see what stands out
for you. Perhaps there is something you have always wanted to do, or a skill you
would love to develop, or something you really enjoy but which you have had very
little time for.
Now is the time to
start making these things a reality, to make them part of your future plans and
then put those plans into action. Not only will you enjoy life more, but you
will become a more fully rounded human being.
The TICK test is
all about finding a whole new way of looking at yourself and your future. What
might you yet become and do? Anything you choose!
