How to Analyze People on Sight

Back Forward Menu

Never do anything just to show you _can_. Don't let your versatility
tempt you into following a number of lines of work for the purpose of
demonstrating your ability. Versatility can be the greatest handicap of
all; it tempts you to neglect intensive study, to flit, to become a
"jack of all trades and master of none."


Only Three Kinds of Work

There are but three general classes of work. They are:

WORK WITH PEOPLE;
WORK WITH THINGS;
WORK WITH IDEAS.

Each individual is fitted by nature to do one of these _better_ than the
others and there will be one class for which he has the _least_ ability.
