From a patient’s perspective, all doctors are confident, assertive individuals who
can take a leadership role in any situation. Family members, friends, peers, and
medical staff members may have an entirely different view.
This Awareness Tool provides an opportunity to measure your interpersonal
assertiveness. Remember that this is not a diagnostic tool. It is intended to help you better
understand how your communication style influences your interactions with others.
