aptitude, temperament.
Level III traits tend to be highly stable. Your
goal is to predict future performance by getting a deeper understanding
of how someone has displayed level III qualities in the past.
Principles for Exploring Past Actions
- The best predictor of future performance is
past performance in similar circumstances.
- The more varied the situations in which
behavior is demonstrated, the more deeply-rooted the behavior.
- The more recent the behavior, the more
predictive of future performance.
- The more long-standing the behavior, the more
deeply-rooted it is.
- People reveal past patterns of behavior most
vividly in instances where they experience greatest successes or
setbacks.
Look for patterns. If done once, it is a clue,
twice, it is a pattern; if done three it is a well-established
characteristic.
