We know that their relationship can travel in the opposite direction. There is a two-way relationship, i.e. besides moving in the directions 1 to 2, 1 to 3, 1 to 4, etc we can also move fro 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 4 to 1, etc The formula now 7 becomes V = n (n -- 1). Again using only 7 factors we fi d the number of ways these can be related to each other is 7 X 6 = 42. Let us move on. Experience and observation tell us that most often our factors will have a dynamic relationship, i.e. we can relate 1 to 2 to 4 to 1 to 7 to 5 to 3, etc This changes the formula to V = 2n (n - 1). With 7 factors this means the number of ways these can relate to one another is 2 to the power of 42. You can work out how many this is, but be assured it is several million million No wonder you are unique.

Eighteen key words describing yourself means 2 to the power of 18 X 17 (306) = 13 octillion octillions This is another reason why potential employers find difficulty in selecting the 'best available' candidate. You will not be able to complete this part of your personal audit in a few minutes. Neither will you be able to carry it out based on one past achievement.

It is an ongoing exercise. Set aside some different times in the next few days and weeks using different achievements. Pull together the results from your several attempts.

Now summarise their common factors in matrix form. Now discuss your findings about yourself with your spouse or a close mate.

Ask them how they view you under these three headings? How far do they agree with your conclusions? When you have done this two or three times, leave it on one side. Come back again one or two weeks later and make further attempts to know yourself better.
