Read and Do Test

Q This week's tool, A Read and Do Test, is an activity that is best done with a larger group. Follow the instructions in the attached document. You could invite some relatives and/or friends over and promise them cookies and punch to help you with a school assignment. It might be fun to do with co-workers at lunch or after work, or perhaps in a staff meeting (if you have good relationships with your boss and your colleagues, they might agree to do it if you tell them it's an assignment for school). But do be careful to keep the tone light -- some people feel embarrassed if they have called out "I have" or counted aloud from 10 to one. It's good to remind people that we live in a society that puts a premium on speed, but not necessarily accuracy -- just think about elections and how the news agencies try to be the first to predict a winner. Tell us about your experience facilitating this activity. How might a TD professional use this tool?

The read and do test is a perfect talent development tool for understanding own strengths and weaknesses. I have tried out this particular activity with four of my close friends as they know me better, therefore, it will be easy for them to judge me according to this particular test. My friends have used all of the steps of this test. The friends are equipped with the test; therefore, it is really easy for them to complete this particular tool in an easy manner. I can say that this is a very fun kind of task to complete as I and all of my friends have enjoyed a lot while performing this particular task. I want to mention here that without their help I could not finish this test.
