Think of yourself in your work situation.
Examine one line of four words at a time.
In each line select the word that Most describes you in the work situation and place an M in the box to the right of that word.
Choose a word from each line which Least describes you in the work situation and place an L in the box to the right of that word.
Each completed line must contain one M and one L.
The first thought is probably the right one.
The exercise should take about 10-15 minutes to complete, without interruption and preferably in isolation.
