Think and Grow Rich test: Are you easily influenced by others?

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 27. Are you easily influenced by others?

For the most part, I am not.

For a better answer, it depends.

I have pretty much been able to control how negative people influence me, but I really would like to be more influenced by positive, happy, successful people.

For the most part, I do a good job of setting the course I’ll follow in life, but part of that course has isolated me.

I’m looking to meet new, interesting, successful, positive people and look forward to seeing how I can improve with their influence.

It’s going to be an interesting new chapter in my life.

I will not allow negative people to influence what I do; I’ll always fight that.

I hope to be more influenced by positive people.

What about you?

Are you easily influenced by others?

All the best,

JD

    2. Hi John,

    This is another one that’s easy for me to answer; nope.

    I’m kind of the eternal skeptic. At the same time, I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I try to look at the logic behind everything that happens, and I run with that.

    I also make up my own mind as it pertains to people. My intuition is such that I can usually make a pretty good judgment fairly quickly on people. Whether someone else says a person is okay or not, I make up my own mind on it. I remember Mandela saying “Your enemies aren’t necessarily my enemies.”

    And there you go.
