Ability in psychology is a feature that makes it easy to cope with a particular type of activity. In most cases, these traits are manifested in childhood as a continuation of character and a tendency to a certain type of behavior and activity. However, even in adulthood, you can discover new skills and talents in yourself. In addition, unlike inclinations, ability is not an innate quality and requires development.
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze your character. You can be calm and slow or impulsive and mobile; you can be flexible in body or quick in thought. Write down personality traits on paper, categorizing qualities into different categories: physical, mental, creative, technical, universal, etc.
Step 2
Relate the qualities of each column to the type of activity: art, science, technology, sports, etc. The category with universal qualities is equally useful in any of the genera listed.
A person from birth has the inclinations and inclination to several types of activity at once, so several categories on your list will probably be developed approximately the same, but one of the lists will clearly dominate.
Step 3
The column with the most qualities indicates the type of activity to which you are especially inclined. This category can be associated either with your professional activity or with strong natural inclinations. In principle, you can focus on developing this particular area of knowledge or skills.
Step 4
The rest of the columns, as the set of qualities decreases, are inherent to you to a lesser extent, but this does not mean that you need to abandon them. The makings are the foundation, but not a guarantee of successful activity in a particular area. So if you want to, switch to one of the less advanced categories.
Step 5
Develop in yourself the qualities listed in the chosen category. Use special literature, contact teachers and consultants, do it yourself. Transform the makings into truly developing several makings at once. Focus on one activity and devote most of your time to it.
