• Am I involved in too many activities? Which ones could I give up?
  • Do I know how to say no? Can I think of a recent example of saying no graciously but firmly?
  • How much of a problem is perfectionism for me? Can I state the difference between pursuing perfectionism and seeking excellence?
  • Am I a slave to my to-do lists, or do I use lists to organise my life and keep it balanced?
  • Have I forgiven my parents for any pressures they put on me while growing up? Can I honestly say there were privileges as well as pressures in being a firstborn?
  • Am I a compliant or aggressive firstborn? What are my best attributes? What are my key faults, and what do I need to do to improve?
  • If I know I'm an aggressive firstborn, am I willing to ask my partner, children, or fellow workers for feedback on my strengths and weaknesses? What would my family say to me about how much time I spend with them?
  • If I feel jealousy or resentment toward any of my siblings, am I willing to confess and try to make it right? When and where could I do this?
  • Do I care too much about what others think of me? Why or why not? Have I been in any situation recently in which this "caring too much" has come to the forefront and caused trouble for me?
  • How good am I at spotting flaws at fifty paces? Would my family or friends say I am too critical?
