Should I quit my job test: reading your answer.
This should I quit my job test reads your answer to the reversal question. However, each kind of answer means something different. So before you act, notice whether you answered quickly, painfully, vaguely, for money, or honestly.
A fast yes or a painful no.
If you wrote yes in under ten seconds, you probably asked whether your job is tolerable. Instead, picture the business in detail for two minutes, then answer again.
If you wrote no and feel worse, that is expected, because it is information. Still, it does not tell you to leave. Instead, chapter 8 separates wanting out from wanting to build.
When the business is vague or the money decides.
If you could not answer, your imagined business is a mood rather than a business. So go back to the sentence you wrote in chapter 1. Similarly, if money drove your answer, hold the salary identical on both sides. Then, if the answer changes, money was never the real reason.
What the should I quit my job test cannot tell you.
On the other hand, an honest yes, with the loss felt, means you chose your job on purpose, in writing. So read chapter 13 when you get there. Finally, a no shows only that you would not choose this again. However, it tells you nothing about whether you want a business.
Reread your answer tonight.
First, label your written answer as quick yes, painful no, vague, money-driven or honest.
Then follow the matching instruction above before deciding anything else.
From the book.
You could not answer because the imaginary business is too vague. Good, and that's the most useful failure in the exercise. It means the thing you've been comparing your job against isn't a business at all, it's a mood, and you can't run a reversal test against a mood. Go back to the sentence you wrote in chapter 1.
