You follow the directions given to
you by your partner. It soon turns out, however, that you are
lost.
What are you most likely say?
|
 |
A. "I thought you
knew how to get there."
B. "It's ok. We
enjoyed the drive anyway."
C. "I should have paid attention. When we made that left turn,
I wanted to ask you about it but didn't. My fault."
Analysis
A:
"I thought you knew how to get there."
Not a very forgiving person, you are quick in assigning
responsibility to others. Hidden in the accusatory tone is
also anger or dissatisfaction that may or may not be related
to the incident per se.
B:
"It's ok. We enjoyed the drive anyway."
Easygoing and understanding in your attitude, you generally
consider your partner equal to yourself. The readiness with
which you tolerate your partner's errors indicates a desire to
be treated the same way in similar situations.
C:
"I should have paid attention. When we made the left turn back
over there, I wanted to ask you about it but didn't. My
fault."
Self-effacing and self-accusatory, you demonstrate a tendency
to bending over backwards to accommodate your partner. The
relationship may be a truly sweet one, but possibly hidden in
the attitude is also a certain amount of insecurity.
