I respect people who, on at least one occasion, have been right when I'm wrong and think I'm right. The only way to really get my attention is to defeat me. Other qualities like kindness and honesty earn my regard and I'll do things to help that person, but that's not the same as hesitating to disagree with them.
Regardless of what this reveals about my personality, it's true.
- h34t 18y ago"Regardless of what this reveals about my personality, it's true." Interesting. One thing I've seen in my personality -- something I didn't consciously choose to do, but I've observed enough times to know it's a part of me -- is that I am attracted to people who others typically view as intimidating. The more "intimidating" the person is -- the more attention in the room they command -- the more I seem to expect that I can learn something from them, and so I do the opposite of what most people do and address them directly and confidently.
