The objective for this resolution was to make reading a habit. So I went searching, to no avail, I never checked that book out. However, I was determined not to leave empty handed. The book at the library was a weathered copy. It was an older version of the book. Good enough for me.

4 thoughts to “Napoleon Hill’s Personal Analysis Test”
Since I started with writing the answers to the self analysis questions from Think and Grow Rich I have been thinking about creating a page about those questions and answers. And I just see I already wrote more than 20 self analysis posts and just making the list makes me realize the enormous amount of content I have been writing in this site. And that again makes me think of how doing something small every day can end up into huge things as long as you just continue doing it. More to follow, as it is enough for today.
Secondhand Success by Categories
Napoleon Hill was one of the earliest producers of the modern genre of personal-success literature, and is widely considered to be one of the greatest writers on success. James Randolph was best known for sponsoring eleven times an amendment to the Constitution that would grant citizens aged between 18 and 21 the right to vote. He first introduced the amendment in , arguing that young soldiers fighting in World War II should be able to vote. He was among the Senators who reintroduced the amendment and it was finally ratified in The attributes required for success included dealing with your weaknesses, and the other obstacles to your success, while capitalizing on your strengths. Not exactly new news you might think, but do you know how you stand in this analysis? For that reason, I thought it a good idea to include that Personal Analysis here, for you to download, copy and review, so you too can achieve your greatness. If it was powerful enough to impact a 20 year old, and have Randolph write to Hill years later making such a request, it may prove useful to you, in your success journey.
Annual self-analysis is an essential in the effective marketing of personal services, as is annual inventory in merchandising. Moreover, the yearly analysis should disclose a decrease in faults, and an increase in virtues. One goes ahead, stands still, or goes backward in life. Annual self-analysis will disclose whether advancement has been made, and if so, how much. It will also disclose any backward steps one may have made. The effective marketing of personal services requires one to move forward even if the progress is slow.
