Checking your SWC Quotient

   Mark only those statements that are true almost 100% of the time:

The Strong Willed  Child ( SWC)...

____ almost never accepts words like "impossible" or phrases like "it can't be done."
____ can move with lightning speed from being a warm, loving presence to being a cold, immovable force.
____ when bored, has been known to create a crisis rather than have a day go by without incident.
____ considers rules to be more like guidelines (i.e., "As long as I'm abiding by the 'spirit of the law," why are you being so picky?")
____ shows great creativity and resourcefulness - seems to always find a way to accomplish a goal.
____ can turn what seems to be the smallest issue into a grand crusade or a raging controversy.
____ doesn't do things because "you're supposed to" - it needs to matter personally.
____ refuses to obey unconditionally - seems to always have a few terms of negotiation before complying.
____ is not afraid to try the unknown - to conquer the unfamiliar (although each SWC chooses his or her own risks, they all seem to posses the confidence to try new things),
____ can take what was meant to be the simplest request and interpret it as an offensive ultimatum.
____ may not actually apologize but almost always makes things right.

Your Score:  How Much Strong Will Do You Have?
0-3 You've got it, but you don't use it much.
4-7 You use it when you need to, but not on a daily basis.
8-10 You've got a healthy dose of it, but you can back off when you want to.
11 You don't leave home without it - and it's almost impossible not to use it.
