Take the quiz! What's your hidden strength?

Lifetime Magazine recently published a handy personality quiz that can reveal your secret strengths. Since strength of all kinds is the focus of our up-coming Strong Women Saturday and Strong Women Summit events, we’d like to invite you to sample the quiz here and see if it reveals a strength you might not know you have. Here are two questions, and next week we’ll interpret your results and give you two more questions.

1) You’re meeting a friend for dinner, but your mom calls to say Aunt Susan dropped in and she wants you to visit. You . . .
a. Say sure, but you’ll come only for dessert. It’s too late to cancel your plans.
b. You’re pissed—and let Mom know it—but call your pal to reschedule.
c. Tell her you’re busy; you’ll be sure to catch up with Aunt Susan on Labor Day weekend.
d. Call your friend. If she’s ok with doing dinner another night, then so are you.

2) There’s a chance your husband’s firm may transfer him across the country. You . . .
a. Get psyched about the opportunity for a fresh start.
b. Make a list of pros and cons, which you review with your husband.
c. Support whatever he decides, even though it kills you to leave your family and friends.
d. Fall apart.

Don't forget to check yesterday's Strong Women Daily News and send in your nomination for a female presidential candidate for the U.S. We'll tally the results next Friday. (Pssst: So far, Oprah Winfrey is winning.)

1. A or D depending on how long it was since I last saw my aunt & how far away she lives .Another factor would be the time I'm having dinner.Early dinner...,no dawdling afterwards...see aunt after dinner. Late dinner.....go see aunt first.
Another option: call friend & ask if she'd like to meet another family member of mine & maybe invite mom & aunt to join us for ladies nite out. Most of my gal pals are family oriented & probably wouldn't mind.I've been in similar situations with friends & their relatives & wound up meeting a lot of cool new people.

2. Definitely B.

a. or d. for #1

would like to see question 2 re-worded to say "partner" which is much more inclusive of all strong women than "husband" definitely b. for #2

RE: Hidden strength...I could actually qualify for all of the answers on both of the questions, I flip flop alot. But depending on day, environment, circumstances they all fit...not helpful, am I?
