Think and Grow Rich test: Do you let others think for you?

My answers to the Think and Grow Rich Self-Assessment Test

Recently, I was reminded of the self-assessment test in Napoleon Hill’s best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich.

There are fifty-four questions in that test, and I’m going to be giving my answers and thoughts on one or two of them as close to daily as I can manage. I may miss a day here or there, but I’m going to follow through until I reach the end of the test.

I’ve started the series of posts with:

Think and Grow Rich self-assessment test

Question Number 18. Do you let other people do your thinking for you?

No, I don’t.

I’m tempted to leave it at that.

I don’t let anyone dictate how I think, what my opinions are, or anything similar.

I welcome feedback, opinions, new ideas, and so forth, but I always run them through my own opinions, biases, beliefs, and filters. Then, I make my own decisions, come to my own conclusions, and move on.

Right or wrong, through hard and easy times, I think for myself.

What about you?

Do you let other people do your thinking for you?

All the best,

JD

    2. Hi John,

    This one is easy; nope! It doesn’t even come close, although I will listen every once in awhile to something that I might not have given as much attention to. At that point, I try not to have too hard of an opinion if I have limited knowledge. Other than that, though, I’m definitely an independent thinker, which has left me out in left field on my own many a time.
