The strength in knowing a weakness

If you have a physical weakness and find yourself in a fight, it would only be natural to protect the weakness from the attack. But it’s easier to recognize a fragile knee than an emotional sensitivity to what others might say. Our emotional body has vulnerabilities, and the Verbal Sensitivity Scale allows us to locate some of our strengths and weaknesses in this area. This evaluation gives a score from 0 to 6 relative to the forms of communication that can be potentially hurtful or damaging to us.
A score that is close to zero indicates resilience on the scale, and/or a well-developed Inner Smile. The closer a score is to 6, the more sensitive we are to a particular form of communication. Interaction with these forms is harmful when we react with avoidance, submission, justification or counter-attack.
For the following 12 questions, choose the answer that represents your most recent reaction to each of these conflict-prone situations.
