relationship to power covering four elements. Try to answer the

they are self-sufficient, able to spend time alone.
Exterior people are more practical. They are very comfortable
with other people, and like to manage other people. They
can also handle power well, are comfortable with it, and usually
desire it.
The first step in discovering your power profile is to find out
whether you are an interior or exterior person. Answering the
following questions will give you some insight into your own person-
ality, whether you should go after power or whether you'd be ill
advised to try. Read each situation and the three possible solutions,
