I got the same score...54%- receiving criticism like a pro.
Interesting survey...I found when it was my MOTHER IN LAW, I did not accept at all. When it was friends, other relatives and people at work, I was great or middle of the line. LIN I was right in the middle of the mother-in-law one.... I wouldn't alter the recipe for her benefit, but would keep it the way that my family and I preferred it. I laughed at some of them.... It was a clear over-reaction! I am a firm believer in "what other people think of me is none of my business"..... BUT, this never worked when it pertained to me on the job. I have been the "boss" and I have been the employee. As a boss I always tried to be fair and never lay anything more on them, than I was willing to do myself. Constructive criticism is a good thing, I love learning new ways to get things done and love to share my handy tips. But some take it personally, and thought it was criticism and not the helpful hint I felt like I was offering. I am not all that thin skinned and don't usually take it personal...... Thanks for the reply Lin! Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl |

Got the same as the two of you. I had a few chuckles along the way. Normally with my mother-in-law, I would automatically disagree. When it came to cooking, I knew I baked better than she did. My son suggested that I go blonde several years before I did.  |

“When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing
about that person; it merely says something about our own
need to be critical.” - - unknown
There are definately two kinds of criticism, constructive and
destructive. Destructive criticism.....
I believe that the type of person who does this, feels bad about
themselves and can only find happiness when they are hurting
others. There is no point in hurting and belittling others just to
puff up your own ego. I have no time to even listen to anyone
who approaches me in this way... It is my belief that you teach
people how to treat you and this is unacceptable behavior!
Peace on the journey, SunnyGirl

I was actually surprised I got that high. I am really a Q-TIP person. I take thengs very personally. It may be criticism or not, but I want to take it on. WHen I get corrected for a mistake I feel personally attacked. That question was not on the survey. But I definitely woudl have failed that one.

I can identify Lin. It was a real gift to hear, just because I made a mistake, doesn't mean I am one. My imperfections and human nature were things that I beat myself up over for years, never feeling worthy and discounted my self-worth and lowered my self-esteem.
