Ex. 5.13. Write a brief profile of yourself (approximately five lines):

Outline your personal qualities and highlight any strengths and weaknesses you feel you have. Then write a brief profile of your partner, outlining his or her strengths and weaknesses as you see them. Use the list of personal qualities to help you.

STRENGTHS		WEAKNESSES
confident	thorough	arrogant	obsessive
enterprising	tolerant	opportunistic	uncaring
humorous	caring	frivolous	nosy
ambitious	prudent	ruthless	indecisive
helpful	focused	controlling	tunnel-visioned
forceful	supportive	bullying	interfering
competitive	generous	combative	irresponsible
open to change		wishy-washy

When you have finished, work with your partner and compare the profiles you have written. Discuss any differences between them and try to agree on an ‘accurate’ profile of each other.
