3. Exercise
• Rank the animals individually in order of
your personal preference
• lion,
• dog,
• Parrot
• elephant.
4. Numeric Value
• How you want others who are significant
in your life to perceive you
• How you think others actually perceive
you
• How you would like to be perceived by
others in future
• How you truly want to be – without
worrying about what others in your life
think about you
5. Interpretation
• Let’s say someone lists order of preference as:
Lion, elephant, dog and parrot. It means the
person wants others to perceive him with lion like
qualities. These qualities are dominance,
detachment, aloofness, decisive and proactive.
The person however believes he is perceived by
others with elephant like qualities. These
qualities are passive nature, tolerance, calm,
strong, controlled and so on.
