		<description>Its way too late I found this test...
And the good thing I find here is-

All of the test statements are 
assertive, 
in present tense and
in first person

can I use them as auto-suggestions ?

Thanks !!</description>

		<description>Wendy,

A 27 isn&#039;t the end of the world. The first thing you should do is ask yourself if the things the test was asking about are important to you or not.

If you think those things are important then that means you have lots of room for improvement. :)

I wish I could point you to a bunch of posts on this blog that relate to personal growth commitment and initiative but it&#039;s young and there isn&#039;t much here yet. I promise I will address this topic though in the next few weeks. 

And if you can&#039;t wait for me, you should see what you can find on increasing your assertiveness, your internal locus of control (to what degree you control your own life), and instrumentality (a focus on getting the job done). These three things are all linked to personal growth commitment.</description>
