Subject: Re: Skills audits
I've been thinking about this myself recently... I want to be able to
harness the feelings associated with a magazine quiz ('What sort of
friend are you...?') definitely rather than any sort of diagnostic feel
... in our book we called it a 'Personal Skills Review' - but that was
okay because people could use the book as they wish... would welcome
hering any suggestions, with you. Best SAndra Sinfield
