Knowing thyself

See the original article.

"...the individual is more accurate in assessing one's own internal, or neurotic traits, such as anxiety, while friends are better barometers of intellect-related traits, such as intelligence and creativity, and even strangers are equally adept as our friends and ourselves at spotting the extrovert in us all..."

This is interesting from a networking perspective. I will concede that I'm an expert in my own neurosis :), but the feedback from others about your strengths (and weaknesses) should be incorporated into our personal view of ourselves. I could even see this input as an integral part of one's own job search (e.g. a skills assessment).
