Bad Attitude Checklist

In her Exchange article, "The Truth About Bad Attitudes,"  (Exchange, March/April 2011), Gigi Schwiekert talks about the impact of a person with a bad attitude and offers this checklist to see if maybe you exhibit some bad attitudes...

1. I want others to hear my opinion about almost everything.
2. I don’t listen to some people.
3. Sometimes I am thinking about what I am going to say next instead of listening to others.
4. Sometimes I raise my voice or speak more curtly if they don’t hear me or agree with me.
5. I monopolize the conversations and don’t let others talk.
6. I have to have the last word.
7. No one ever sees my point of view.
8. I like when people tell me I am right.
9. Sometimes I have to talk to adults like they are children so they will understand.
10. I am smarter than everyone else.
11. I’m never wrong.
12. If I were wrong, I would never admit it.
13. People say I am hard to get along with, but they are the ones who are hard to get along with.
14. I believe there is always a crisis happening at work.
15. For as long as I have worked here, there has always been a problem.
16. Sometimes I have to make a scene for others to get my point.
