How Considerate Am I?

From the time I was a little girl, my mother drilled into my head that etiquette was not a matter of knowing which fork to use first. Rather, etiquette was a matter of being considerate and respectful of others. If asked, “Do you think of yourself as being a considerate person?” most of us would respond, “Of course, I am considerate.” Many of us, however, might be surprised to learn that we are not as considerate as we think we are.

How Considerate Am I? is a fun and private way to take a close look at just how considerate each of us actually is. How Considerate Am I? contains 37 categories of self-evaluation questions. The topics range from “How Considerate Am I in the Office?” to “How Considerate Am I at the Meal Table?” to “How Considerate Am I with My family?” The number of questions in each category ranges from 5 to 25, with each question being answered with “Always, Usually, Sometimes, Rarely, or Never.”

Through the scoring system within each category, the reader gets a humorous glimpse at how considerate he/she is. The score for each category is tabulated independently of the other categories. For example, I might learn that I am quite considerate when traveling by air, but not as considerate when dining in a restaurant.

This just might be a book that you would want to share with others.
