What do people like about your personality? Are you fun-loving or organized? Do you see the glass as half-full or half-empty? Do you tell it like it is or mince words? Do you like to speak on behalf of others or prefer to listen to what they say? Do
you know how to act when the physician walks in the room?
While Helen was telling the ER doctor about her medical complaints, her daughter, Joan, was sitting in the corner reading her book. At one point, the doctor caught Joan glaring at her mother with a look that could kill. Her eyes conveyed that it was time for her mother to die if she was so miserable. Misery loves company. Yet your
personality informs you about how miserable you want to be as a caregiver.
