•  A core quality is a specific strength that characterises you!

you when they are asked to describe you!•  Each person has at least one core quality!

Examples qualities!

•  You are decisive!•  You are modest!•  You are rational!

Pitfall !

•  Your pitfall goes hand-in-hand with your core quality!

•  It is the distortion of your core quality when you show too much of it!

•  It is the reversed side of the medal, your quality becomes a weakness!
